Subject: RE: BS: Men & Washing Machines???
Only slightly off topic - I had a problem with a dryer.

The problem was that "she" decided the dryer made a funny noise.

We were in Yuma AZ at the time, and the nearest "repair persons" were in Phoenix, about 170 miles away.

After the second repair person was unable to find anything wrong with it, she continued her complaints so I announced that I'd found the problem and ordered a part.

She was happy, so I didn't tell her that I never got around to installing the part.

Twenty years later, I got rid of her, but got to keep the dryer.

Ten years after that, after the dryer had been sitting out in the rain in Seattle (on the apartment balcony - the apartment had a built-in washer & dryer), I got an offer from someone willing to buy the #@$!^# dryer, but when I plugged it in to make sure it still worked ....

IT NEEDED THE PART.

So I installed it.

"New she" wasn't impressed that I had the part.

She was impressed that I knew exactly where it was.
