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 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. :-)
