>Bill: "There are a few issues we need to discuss."

>Contractor: "Ah, you have our basic support option. Calls are free
>for the first 90 days and $75 a call thereafter. Okay?"

>Bill: "Uh, yeah... the first issue is the living room. We think its
>a little smaller than we anticipated."
>
>Contractor: "Yeah. Some compromises were made to have it out by the
>release date."
>
>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..."
