Story Update - Husband is Hero

New information has been revealed regarding the Scatliff incident earlier this week. Due to the overwhelming reader response and numerous letters demanding to know where Scatliff's husband was in all of this madness - our reporters dug deeper. This is what they found:
Apparently, Tuesday, January 8th, 2008 was an important day in the Scatliff residence. You see, that very morning there was a very important interview...for a very important job...for a very cute young man. That's right, Mr. Scatliff was on his way to a job interview.
He was scheduled to take the bus that morning, but considering his wife had inconspicuously hid his suit jacket under her fuzzy sweater (in efforts to sabotage his self-confidence, of course) there was some detective work to do and, subsequently, some de-wrinkling and de-fuzzing to do before he was allowed to exit the apartment. And so it was decided, she will drive him to the interview.
As they entered the vehicle at 7:23, Mrs Scatliff patted the dashboard of her old friend and asked "Not this morning, ok? Not this morning". Indicating to the old beast that this was an important day, so don't break down today.

Well, you know what happened...

And there they were, running, he in his best suit and she in her pajamas (just kidding, she wasn't in her pajamas! That would have been funny though...) through the rain - from the broken down car and into a building in efforts to find a phone book and, subsequently, a taxi.
As her husband ran toward the taxi pick-up location, he shouted over his shoulder "Remember, call the Diabetes Foundation not a tow truck!"
A lump developed in her throat. "So, this is it" she thought.
Within moments, the campus security came to aide the damsel in distress [oh, yeah, right!] and said he would go get his partner and they would help push the car to a safer spot. Well, when she knew he was gone, she climbed back into the beast and clearly explained the situation to the girl - using a very loud voice (just in case the car couldn't hear in her old age). "This is going to get even more embarrassing," shouted Scatliff "so lets move it girl!" And, with a great enthusiasm, the car started again. Scatliff took off the e-brake and threw it into gear, knowing that this may be her last chance to get it home, and to get out of there before security boys returned.
Meanwhile, even after a stressful suit jacket hunt, a run in the rain, and a taxi ride through morning rush hour traffic, Mr. Scatliff exceeds the interviewers expectations (surprise, surprise) and they offer him a sweet-deal of a job.
So, as the story goes, the beast is still parked out back..and will still be used (but only along major bus routes) until the new paychecks come in...then Mr. Scatliff may demand that the old friend be kicked to the curb.
