Bill Gate's New House
Now that Bill
Gates is moving into his new house, the following is a
conversation heard last week.
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 centre 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! That's 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: " Contractor: "That's 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..."
