| Consumer Tip On What Not To Buy! |
News Brief | |||
If you need relief from the hot weather, but don't have an air conditioner, you could get by with a good fan. But be advised - not ALL fans are built alike. You want one which can be adjusted to your preference, hopefully with 3 speeds. This "airplane propeller" gets a two-thumbs down, and might be the worst product I have ever tested. The settings are misleading, and the jump from speed 1 to speed 2 is like regular and TURBO. The fan , at speed 1, didn't even generate a breeze. Speed two is tornado mode. Every single item not fastened down in my house was strewn throughout and my false teeth are still lost, probably forever. If you wear a wig, don't go near this turbo spinner, lest you go bald in seconds. I swear, it felt like one of those prop wind makers they use on movie sets. So, buy a regular air conditioner - it costs more, but there won't be any collateral damage. However, all is not lost if you already own this. A simple modification can save money - Sharpen the blades to a razor quality, and you can slice up a full sized bologna or salami in seconds. Great when you're expecting company and need to make 300 sandwiches !

Women Drives car Into Swimming Pool Toronto - Mary Kenning decided to sneak her husband's 1998 Porsche out of the garage and get him something special for his birthday. The little trip cost her 42000 dollars in car repairs and other collateral damages. It seems Mary went to the Delphi Shopping Center and parked on the 4th parking level of the beautiful multi level shopping complex. As she was leaving the car, her foot slipped, and disengaged the parking brake, sending the car through the wall, down four floors, and into the mall's swimming pool. The car floated long enough for Mary to swim to safety. Say's Mary - "The car is ruined. My husband has not spoken to me since the accident." Her husband had this to say - " If I knew Mary was taking the car, I would have called the police to stop her. She can't even ride a danged bike !! Now my car is scrapped and I have to wait 6 months to get it repaired". The owners of the mall have sued Mary for the damage to the wall and the enormous ceramic lined pool. Keith Marsden, insurance agent, said " It's lucky that the Little Beaver Girl's Swimming Club finished it's practice swim, otherwise we could have had a bunch of squished beaverettes..". Mary has decided not to drive anymore. The Mudpile has found out that in 1996, she drove her husband's Mercedes off a ferry and into Lake Ontario. The car was never recovered. |
