Default Experienced my first tranny problem

It was really crowded and we were Christmas shopping when I noticed this taller
unusual looking woman looking at us. I just made a mental note and let it pass. A bit
later she was in the same row that we were when it started to click. Odd looking legs
with large feet, tall stature and strange lump on the front of here neck the scarf just
couldn't hide. She walked closer to me pretending to interested in the same music I
was looking at whenDING, DING, DING, the mental alarm went off. When she/he
realized I busted her she left. I started to tell my wife but by that time she/he was gone.

Hopefully that will be the only tranny problem I have for a while.

At least you were not performing a chassis inspection when you found out.
