> Contractor:  "Oh!  Thats easy. Those bulbs aren't plug and play.

> 
> Contractor:  "Just uninstall and reinstall the electrical system."
> 
> Bill:  "You're kidding!?"
> 
> Contractor:  "Nope. Its the only way."

> Bill:  " Well... I have one last problem. Sometimes, when I

> The water pressure drops so low that the showers don't work."
> 
> Contractor:  "That's a resource leakage problem. One fixture is
> failing to terminate and is hogging the resources preventing access
> from other fixtures."
> 
> Bill:  "And how do I fix that?"
> 
> Contractor:  "Well, after each flush, you all need to exit the house,
> turn off the water at the street, turn it back on, reenter the house
> and then you can get back to work."
> 
> Bill:  "That's the last straw. What kind of product are you selling

> 
> Contractor:  "Hey, if you don't like it... nobody made you buy it."
> 
> Bill:  "And when will this be fixed?"
> 
> Contractor:  "Oh, in your next house -- which will be ready to release
