A girl brought a vcr in with the tape really jammed with no power and no display and said that it just needs cleaning. I asked her why it just needs cleaning. She said that her boyfriend said so. So I asked her what does her boyfriend do for a living...she said ----he's a waiter!!!! I wish had good trouble skills like this waiter.
