Her biggest cognitive error was marrying a man who would publicly humiliate and demean her in a way that reveals more about him than her. What a creep.
For what it’s worth, labeling this a Sunday “Funny” was a mistake in judgment, in my opinion.
When I get a new car I would check the accuracy of the speedometer when on the interstate by measuring the time between mile markers. Sixty mph was easy, but I would have to do mental calculations for the time it takes at 65 or 70 mph. The woman on the video is right about the importance of tire rotation because the car’s speedometer is based on that. If the tires are low the car would take a little bit more than an hour to go eighty miles. But the woman was not intending to be so nuanced in her answer.

Re: the last one.
A blonde confirming the stereotypes of them. What a surprise.
This is why I was glad when my hair started turning dark as I got older. When I was a blonde, I automatically got 50 points deducted from my IQ.

I posed this question to my wife (not blonde) and she didn’t know the answer either.
In her defense – we do not drive, anywhere. We live in a large city and use public transit.
She is very smart, but even she thought “miles per hour” was just an expression like “o’clock”.
I just think it is something many people have not really thought all that much about.

I don’t know what the husband is laughing at. He married an idiot. That’s not funny.

Is that Miss South Carolina from 2007?
I agree that the guy is a dick. How could you humiliate someone you supposedly love like that?

Her husband likely took it down shortly after waking up in the hospital.
