“I found a switch.”
Sweet Gummi Mary! What was THAT
supposed to mean? A switch? Like for administering a whoopin’? Like when your
stepdaddy says , “Boy, go out back and bring me a switch.” Like in that move
The Quiet Man, when John Wayne is dragging Maureen O’Hara across the Irish
countryside by the her flaming red hair, and a woman from the town holds out a
tree branch, and says, “Here’s a stick, to beat the lovely lady.” Or maybe
Farmer H found a switch to turn on his common sense. Or one that makes a light
bulb appear over his head when he gets an idea. Seriously. A switch? So all I
could do was send back a response.
“For...?”
“$5.00”
Okay. I DID ask. But this was not
helping.
"For what?”
“His cruise control they didn’t have
the ac switch today will check again another day.switch looks good and for 5
bucks I will try it about 10 minutes to install”
So…I gathered that Farmer H was
looking for parts to fix The Pony’s truck, since he was sure he had found the
parts on The Devil’s online version, and he and The Pony went to the
Playground on Monday night, and no part was to be had. Prompting Farmer H to say, “Huh. I guess
I didn’t look it up right.”
Speaking of…he sent me info for the
part he needs to fix the hot tub. Info consisting of the word pump and a couple of stock numbers. “You
can get it on Amazon,” said Farmer H. “My buddy at work got one there.”
Do you know how many pumps for hot
tubs come up when you type in Farmer H’s numbers on Amazon? 3,367. Yeah. Kind
of hard to figure out which one goes with your 1970s model free hot tub that
Farmer H brought home from the estate of his boss’s deceased father. So that
was not found. Prompting Farmer H to say, “Oh. I guess I will go to the pool
place and ask about it.”
Yeah. Somebody around here needs a
switch all right…
I LOVE Farmer H--but, then again, I'm not married to him!!
ReplyDeleteI refuse to order parts for HeWho. He has taken to sitting in his car by his barn and ordering things on his I-pad. Just wish he would fix whatever he ordered before he orders more.
ReplyDeleteHM--You have some teacher friends, don't you? If you DO, they could help administer the switch--they have lots of experience in a variety of modern-day discipline techniques that work like a charm. Techniques like whacking and smacking. Allowing students to fail. And the best one of all--"No."
ReplyDeleteBy the way, let your teacher friends know about the Lewis Black bit on youtube. (Lewis Black rants about teachers and gets 100% right.)
fishducky,
ReplyDeleteIt's kind of like in "The Cutting Edge," when actor D.B. Sweeney told actress Moira Kelley how her actor boyfriend could put up with her hateful personality: "I'll bet you look good pretty from a couple thousand miles away." Or something like that.

Kathy,
He might just have to build another barn to store the parts...

Sioux,
Whacking and smacking is so old-school! But "NO" hurts them more.
I'll check out Lewis and pass the word.
