Oh, none taken! My wife and I wear our geekiness proudly!
Around the Peach Street exit in Erie?
Sorry about that. I thought that was an old textbook or something.
I had a friend of a friend (second hand story) who left his sunglasses on a radiator thus reducing them to a nondescript glob of plastic. He sent the glasses to the manufacturer along with a note about how wearing said glasses saved his eyes during an explosion in his chemistry lab (nope, apparently they never questioned why he was wearing sunglasses in a chemistry lab). The good folks at corporate sent him a dozen bright shiny new sunglasses.
So, you need a story. Maybe the laptop did not fall off the roof of the car. Maybe you are a poor starving college student who just finished an all-nighter at the library. You were on your way to grab a meager meal at your favorite eatery when you were attacked by a 400 lb crazy man. Luckily, you managed to hold him off with your laptop until the cops arrived… Type it up and throw a few plastic shards in the envelope - it’s worth a stamp to find out.
Nope, elmwood, that wasn’t mine. This was in Illinois just outside of Elgin at the Route 31 interchange.
Unfortunately, I can’t lie. I mean, I think I could, but I’d feel really bad about it, and it would show through, and the next thing you know…busted. Like my laptop.
Besides, it was really, really obviously run over. I mean, really really. I don’t think anything else could CAUSE that much damage short of a national disaster.
I was just telling my mother that I was planning on getting a laptop after the first of the year. Her first comment was that I have a bad habit of leaving things in bad places. :smack:
After this thread I will never put it on the roof of the car.
We can rebuild it. We have the technology. We have the capability to make it even better than it was before. Your notebook will be that computer. Better than it was before. Better … stronger … faster.
Now let’s see what’s …Wow! :eek: No it’s trash…sorry.
