Alternators and Flesh-Eating Insects

[cjsmith]

My car was ready yesterday with its shiny new alternator installed. I believe this is alternator number four. I went to pick up the car, but it was worse than before!

Now I am told the car is ready again. They couldn't find anything wrong with it, and the warning light is off, this time for sure, they swear, cross their hearts.

If I arrive tomorrow and that light is on I will send a big envelope to the service department containing a swarm of flesh-eating insects. If I work it right, the insects will be carrying lots of red blinky alternator warning lights which they will drop down the service technicians' shirts just before devouring everything in sight.

I read that first sentence without my glasses on and saw "My cat was ready yesterday with its shiny new alternator installed." My first thought was "I hope there are going to be pictures, because now I'm confused."

Some people have electric eels, I have an electric cat. If she scuffs her feet on the carpet she can power my laptop for a half hour.

It is a Toyota.

I'll be careful when aiming those bugs. :-)

Mmm, I wonder if you can breed lightning-bugs for other colors... you'd have a secondary market for "natural xmastree lights" too!

I know someone whose landlord wouldn't help deal with a roach problem. She painted the roaches day-glo colors before delivering an envelope-full to the landlord's mail slot.

I was impressed. :-)
