>Bill:  "Uh, yeah... the first issue is the living room.  We think its

>Contractor:  "Yeah.  Some compromises were made to have it out by the

>
>Bill:  "We won't be able to fit all our furniture in there."
>
>Contractor:  "Well, you have two options.  You can purchase a new,
>larger living room; or you can use a Stacker."
>
>Bill:  "Stacker?"
>
>Contractor:  "Yeah, it allows you to fit twice as much furniture into
>the room.  By stacking it, of course, you put the entertainment center
>on the couch... the chairs on the table... etc.  You leave an empty
>spot, so when you want to use some furniture you can unstack what you
>need and then put it back when you're done."
>
>Bill:  "Uh... I dunno... issue two.  The second issue is the light
>fixtures.  The bulbs we brought with us from our old home won't fit.
>The threads run the wrong way."
>
>Contractor:  "Oh!  Thats easy.  Those bulbs aren't plug and play.
>You'll have to upgrade to the new bulbs."

>Bill:  "And the electrical outlets?  The holes are round, not
>rectangular.  How do I fix that?"
>
>Contractor:  "Just uninstall and reinstall the electrical system."
>
>Bill:  "You're kidding!?"
>
>Contractor:  "Nope.  Its the only way."

>Bill:  "<sigh> Well... I have one last problem.  Sometimes, when I
>have guests over, someone will flush the toilet and it won't stop.
>The water pressure drops so low that the showers dont work."
>
>Contractor:  "Thats a resource leakage problem.  One fixture is
>failing to terminate and is hogging the resources preventing access
>from other fixtures."
>
>Bill:  "And how do I fix that?"
>
>Contractor:  "Well, after each flush, you all need to exit the house,
>turn off the water at the street, turn it back on, reenter the house
>and then you can get back to work."
>
>Bill:  "That's the last straw.  What kind of product are you selling
>me?"
>
>Contractor:  "Hey, if you don't like it, nobody made you buy it."
>
>Bill:  "And when will this be fixed?"
>
>Contractor:  "Oh, in your next house -- which will be ready to release
>sometime near the end of next year.  Actually it was due out this
>year, but we've had some delays..."
