Titolo: OT: Serious advice needed...

I need some advice on what could be a life changing decision.
I've suspected for some time now that my wife has been having an
affair. The usual signs. Phone rings, I answer, someone hangs up.
She started going out 'with the girls' a lot recently although when I
ask which girls, it's always "Just some friends from work, you don't
know them".
I always look out for her taxi coming home but she always walks down
the drive although I can hear a car setting off. As if she has got out
of the car round the corner. Why? Is it not a taxi?
I once picked her mobile up just to see what time it was and she went
berserk and screamed that I should never touch her phone again and why
was I checking up on her.
Anyway, I have never approached the subject with my wife. I think deep
down I just didn't want to know the truth but last night she went out
again and I decided to check on her.
I decided I was going to hide behind my car which would give me a view
of the whole street so I could see what car she gets out of. It was
whilst crouched behind my car that I noticed rust around my rear wheel
arch. Should I take it into a body repair shop or should I buy some
stuff from Halfords and try to repair it myself? 

 stuff from Halfords and try to repair it myself?
It depends on the type of car you have. Newer cars use a very toxic type of 
paint and you can't reproduce the finish with a spray can. But, if you are 
determined to fix it yourself be sure to grind away all of the offending 
rust down to bare metal. Then wipe the area with a metal cleaning rust 
preventive solution. Assuming that the deterioration of the metal isn't 
pronounced enough to warrant plastic filler, you should wet-sand and 
feather-edge the paint around the bare metal with 280-grit sand paper and 
then prime the metal. After the primer dries, you can apply a sandable glaze 
material with a putty knife to cover the pits in the surface. Then, sand the 
glaze with 280-grit sandpaper until smooth and prime again. The painting you 
should leave to a professional shop. Perhaps you can get your wife's 
boyfriend to pay for it. It would seem to be the least he can do.

*That's*  a judgement call!

I have a better solution: call Mr Bush and tell him your wife is 
probably a terrorist. He will solve the matter.

Thanks Tony, I'm glad to see at least one person took me seriously ;)

That sounds awfully familiar, like something I heard on the radio not
too long ago, right down to the "whilst".

I was inspired by the Italian jokes thread, but I couldn't post it
there, because then you'd all know it was a joke beforehand.

That hardly helps with the rust though, does it? :)

 it's been posted before.
I feel so used.

I heard it from a friend on Usenet. If you check google you'll see

It's better in audio, if you don't mind chortles and guffaws.
