BY TOM AND RAY MAGLIOZZI

Dear Tom and Ray:My husband, a dear, loving Englishman,

drives with one foot on the brake and onefoot on the gas. At a red light, the poor car istrying desperately to move forward, as toldby the right foot, but is being held prisonerby the left foot. It’s a terrible thing to experi-ence, and takes every ounce of my being tostay silent (the last time I tried to explain thedamaging factor of this type of driving, hestarted with the societal differences betweenthe U.S. and England, his father blah blahand then something about the queen). So Igave up. I am just asking/begging you guys todeclare that two-footed driving is bad. Reallybad. So bad that a person might be deportedback to his motherland if he continues to killan innocent Volvo V40 and psychologicallyabuse his loving, supportive wife with suchbehavior. Thanks for your time, guys. I dohope you have a lovely, one-footed day.

-- NikkiTOM: What happened to the good old

days, when couples used to argue abouteasy stuff, like finances and whether to sendtheir kid to reform school?

RAY: If he’s actually using both feet at thesame time, that is bad for the car. And poten-tially bad for you, too, Nikki, if you’re the

passenger.TOM: If he’s “riding the brake” -- that is,

resting his left foot on the brake while he’saccelerating -- he can easily overheat thebrakes. And when brakes overheat, they stopworking. That’s bad, right?

RAY: Even if he doesn’t overheat thebrakes, he’ll surely wear them out faster.He’ll also be activating his brake lights whenhe’s not intending to stop. That tends to con-fuse and infuriate the drivers behind him.

TOM: It also “outs” him as a full-blown

geezer. If he’s doing that, he might as wellslap on a bumper sticker that reads “FollowMe to the Early Bird Special!”

RAY: On the other hand, if he uses twofeet -- one for the gas pedal and one for thebrake -- but only uses one pedal at a time,there’s nothing wrong with that. Some peo-ple just feel that their reflexes are faster thatway. Or that’s the way they learned to drive.

TOM: It is, however, very difficult to avoidresting your left foot on the brake. Try ityourself. Your leg will be aching after aboutfive minutes.

RAY: So make a deal with him, Nikki. Ifhe’s willing to go to the gym and strengthenhis gastrocnemius, soleus, plantaris, tibialisposterior, peroneus longus and peroneusbrevis muscles so he can keep his nonactivefoot flexed and off the unused pedal, you’llstop complaining about his driving.

TOM: But if he can’t — or won’t — stickto only one foot at a time, tell him for queenand country, you’re buying him a car with aclutch. That’ll give his left foot somethingproductive to do.

BY TED KOOSERU.S. Poet Laureate

In Iowa in the 1950’s, when we at last heard about pizza, mymother decided to make one for us. She rolled out bread dough,put catsup on it, and baked it. Voila! Pizza! And inexpensive, too.Here’s Grace Cavalieri, a poet and playwright who lives inMaryland, serving something similar and undoubtedly better.

TOMATO PIES, 25 CENTSTomato pies are what we called them, those days,

before Pizza came in, at my Grandmother’s restaurant,

in Trenton New Jersey.My grandfather is rolling meatballs

in the back. He studied to be a priest in Sicily but saved his sister Maggie from marrying a bad guy

by coming to America. Uncle Joey is rolling dough and spooning sauce.

Uncle Joey, is always scrubbed clean, sobered up, in a white starched shirt, after cops delivered him home just hours before.

The waitresses are helping themselves to handfuls of cash out of the drawer,

playing the numbers with Moon Mullin and Shad, sent in from Broad Street. 1942,

tomato pies with cheese, 25 cents. With anchovies, large, 50 cents.

A whole dinner is 60 cents (before 6 pm). How the soldiers, bussed in from Fort Dix,

would stand outside all the way down Warren Street, waiting for this new taste treat,

young guys in uniform, lined up and laughing, learning Italian,

before being shipped out to fight the last great war.
