Just a Funny Story

So, my friend emailed this to me, and I had to share it. It had me dying of laughter:)


So the light switch in our kitchen has been giving us some trouble lately. Like it turns itself on and won't turn off when it's supposed to. After asking Jon to fix it for the last month, I finally opened the thing up myself, dug around a bit, made it completely non functional, and in doing so, finally aroused Mr. FixIt's curiousity. So, off he goes to OSH and in comes a phone call about 15 minutes later....
Jon- "Hey, so do you want the Touch Pad Dimmer Switch?"
Me- "No."
Jon- "It's pretty cool."
Me- "No, I don't think I need mood lighting in the kitchen."
Jon- "But it's got this cool touch pad, you tap once once to turn it on or off, and then touch it and hold your finger there to dim."
Me- "But I just need the lights to go on and off."
Jon- "It's pretty coooooool, you know how you like the lights dim sometimes."
Me- "It's the kitchen, I don't need dim. Don't they have a basic switch?"
Jon- "Hmm" (I've now ruined his fun)
Me- "Look, you can get something cool for another room in the house, just make this one work please."
Jon- "Hmm, okay I'll see what they have."
He walks in the door 10 minutes later, dejected.
Me- "What did you get?"
Jon- "A switch."
Me- "Basic?"
Jon- "Yeah, a basic, boring one. I could hardly even find it."
