CASE 253: JOSH WASH!
Josh awoke one Sunday morning to find an uninvited leak spreading beneath the piles of soiled clothing surrounding his washing machine. Record Repairs dispatched Al, a new technician who diagnosed the problem as due to defective hoses. He duly replaced them and charged Al for the parts and his time.
Monday morning, following a load of loads, Josh once again discovered a flood. Back to the scene, Record Repair sent a second technician who suggested replacing the machine as multiple holes were found in the pump and drum.
Josh was rather annoyed for having to pay for Al's unnecessary and ill diagnosed work.

PLEASE NOTE: SOUR MILK'S ANSWER WILL APPEAR IN A SUBSEQUENT EMAIL. OUR APPOLOGIES.
CASE 252 Sour Milk!
Gliding on her easy chair in her air conditioned salon overlooking Jerusalem's biblical zoo, Emily Fried reminisced to her grandchildren about her scores of summers spent in the Borscht Belt.
Her animated legends of dessert sales, one public phone for fifty seven families, three washing machines for 400 children ¼ mile from the closest hamper and happy go lucky primitive wholesome lifestyle kept her brood spellbound for hours.
Emily vividly recalled some sensational shopping scenarios; surprisingly contemporary experiences.
Thursday night lines at Shop n Kosher Market were no sneezing matter. After waiting on line for an hour, the cashier began ringing Emily's bill when she realized that she forgot to pick up the family magazine from the front of the store. "Please do me a favor and bill me for the magazine. I'll pick it up on the way out."
Pushing her towering shopping cart, Emily reached the magazine stand...but none were left. Trying to push her ways through the crowd, Emily hollered to the cashier and asked for a refund. "I'm sorry Ma'am but you've got to take this up with the manager. She's the one who can issue you store credit."
The thought of going upstairs and working through all the red tape to get her $3.00 refund or credit was less than appealing to her. "That's it, I'm just going over to the shelves and taking three dollars worth of chocolate bars," she told herself.
Emily returned to her bungalow, unloaded her groceries, poured herself a bowl of cornflakes and milk. "Aw!' this milk is sour!" Emily ran back to the store, saw the line and reckoned, "They owe me a container of milk. I'll simply pull a new one of the shelf instead of standing on line for another hour."
