Title: Necesito las instrucciones de ser como historietas
Post by: Grampa on July 25, 2008, 10:11:01 AM
I sold a patio door to a guy the other day. They come "knocked down", meaning you have to assemble them.

Anybody with a screwdriver and a second grade edu'ma'cation could put one together. Just to be safe, the manufacturer provides written instructions.

I got the guy in here f'n pissed that, A: he has to read how to assemble it, B: that the instructions dont have pictures, C: they are not in spanish.

how do people function in this world, with all the hand-hold'n going on?

I would've offered to assemble it for him for $100.  [evil]
OK, I'd do it for $20.

reminds me of a somewhat "racist" joke.  There are 3 brains. Brain A was $5, brain B was $100, and brain c was $1000.  Why?

You assume that brain A is the smartest due the the stereotype for the demographic but confused as to why brain c is the most expensive when you're logically suppose to deduce that A is the smartest and C is the dumbest one.

Punch line....Brain C is brand new because it has never been used.
