I was in my friend's electrical shop yesterday afternoon, picking up some
hifi repair work. In strode a lady carrying an electric clothes iron. "I'd

My friend looked at it and explained in his kindest tones that the cost of
having the bench engineer strip it and check the problem, plus adding in any
new parts such as a replacement element, if even available, would exceed the
cost of relieving him of a shiny new one.
"What ?" she squawked "It was working absolutely fine before I dropped it !"
The non-plussed looks on my friend and the other lad behind the counter's
faces, were an absolute picture ...
