Last year I replaced all the windows in my house withthat expensive double-pane energy efficient kind,
and today, I got a call from the contractor who installed them. He was complaining that the work had been completed a whole year ago and I still hadn't paid for them.
Hellloooo,............just because I'm blonde doesn't mean that I am automatically stupid. So, I told him just what his fast talking sales guy had told me last year, that in ONE YEAR these windows would pay for themselves! Helllooooo? It's been a year! I told him.
There was only silence at the other end of the line, so I finally just hung up. He never called back. I bet he felt like an idiot.

Okay...now I know I can afford those window too!
Hey, where's contractor located? Is he still available.???
Sussie: I think maybe the contractor was blonde too! Great business plan, make it up with volume
Ronald: I believe he has been hired to run the governments new Energy Efficiency program.
I have triple pane windows in my North east climate...I should have been paid to install them under this thought process.
LOL...Well a deal is a deal. They should have known that to start with!
Steve: I am sure there is a government program you could have applied for and gotten money back. ;-)
William: Never try to work with logic and a blonde at the same time. The two are polar opposites. :)
The intricacies of the English language. Sometimes you have to be really, really, really specific.
Eric: The literal sense is often VERY different from the intended meaning.
Cute story and a good reminder to ignore the sales pitch and focus on the facts when doing home improvements.
Have an outstanding week and be sure to have your camera in hand to capture those special moments.
