Before we married, my future wife and I were out driving my '69 Super Bee. We ran across a guy broken down on his old Panhead. I stopped. Parts were broken, he needed replacements, nearest Harley shop over an hour away. We put together a shopping list and off I went.

We killed the rest of the day fixing his bike. My future wife was confused and a bit upset. She had other plans for me that day. That's when I explained The Rules.

I told her it didn't matter what we had planned for the day. You stop. That simple. You could be on your way to your own wedding, in your white rental tux. You stop. The rest can wait. Those are The Rules.

We've been married for 40 years. She came to understand The Rules many, many years ago. It's one of the things that she finds endearing about me.
Amen brother.
