I always try to go to a woman at the parts counter-they just seem to more
interested in giving me the part I need, and willing to find out something
if they don't know it.  Knowing what I'm doing and what I need seems to
stimulate some competitive urge in some parts men-where they end up wanting
to appear more knowledgeable than me.  When I go with their superior
knowledge about my needs, I usually have to return parts to exchange for the
correct ones.
