I pulled about seven acorns out of a customer's multi-CD player once. Of course I included them in the 'old parts' package I sent back to him. It was from his garage and he sent it in because it would no longer accept the cartridges. I figured it would be self-explanatory upon receipt.

Customer couldn't understand why it wouldn't accept tapes any more. After cleaning it up, I called them to let them know it was "ready for pickup". Mom showed up with a little blond haired angel at her side. When she asked what was wrong with it, I handed her a ziplock with the sandwich in it and told her it simply needed to have the previous "tape" removed. She looked at the bag for a moment, then looked down at her daughter who was beaming up at her with a huge smile. Always wished I had a picture of that. One of those "priceless" moments. -- Don't bother trying to contact me via email. |
