On a business trip from Massachusetts to Delaware, Edward found himself stranded in the middle of nowhere. Standing under the scorching sun, he anxiously waited for any sign of help.

"The irony is almost laughable," he muttered, frustration clear in his voice. "An automobile engineer who can't fix his own car." He kicked the tire in exasperation, having already checked the engine, battery, alternator, oil, tires, and gas tank. Everything seemed fine, yet the car wouldn't budge.

In the distance, he spotted an old pickup truck approaching. Waving his arm, he managed to catch the driver's attention. The truck pulled over, and out stepped the driver.

"Hey there," Edward called out, his eyebrows raising in surprise when he saw the driver was a woman. Still, he quickly set aside his surprise. This was no time to be picky about help.

"My car's stuck. Do you happen to have any tow straps?"
