How dare you.

You and my wife, I guess I need to give my wife a Hummer, but you have to get your own.

Try this, get yourself some insulation duct tape. It's the tape that looks like foil, you'll only need about 1/2" × 1/2" or less. Tape on male side thread, work the tape into the threads. You probably don't have to go around the entire threads. Screw back together, but do not over tight once contact is made, maybe 1/4 to 1/2 more. I've used this on other applications and it's worked so far. But I cannot guarantee. 😊 Edit: P.S. This tape should be pretty easy to remove with a wood toothpick or small nylon brush.
