Don't you need to put a live newt in the filtration system?

Have you already performed the Hecate purification ritual to expel any evil filtration spirits? Better double check, those buggers are tiny and make your water taste like pee.

In order to properly calibrate your Brita water filter you first have run the water across the body of a nude sexy Asian chick. When certain features on the sexy Asian chick's body are standing to full attention then you know your jug is fully calibrated.

Oh man! I want THAT filter!


The problem with all of the hot Asian chicks here is that most don't speak any English. Spanky's love knows no language, but they don't know that.

Reminds me of the time one of my roommates vacuumed my back patio with my brand new Hoover... I've never seen concrete that clean!

I live with a ****** for a roommate too. This kid is a complete buffoon. Here's some things off the top of my head -

1) He wants to keep the air conditioning on at 73 degrees all night, when it's 65 outside. Doesn't understand that it will cool his room off quicker opening a window and putting a fan in it. He also takes at least 3 - 20 minute showers per day. Must not understand the concept of energy use = money.

2) "Do you know where the lint trap on the dryer is?"

3) He got a new computer and wanted to connect to the network, so I asked him if he plugged it into the router. He said "I can't do that, I don't have a WIRELESS card"... I didn't know you needed a wireless card to use a wire!!

And yes, his computer DID have an ethernet card.

4) I almost forgot this one.. we're at Best Buy with his new computer and I said "Sweet, it has a DVD burner." His reply - "Does that mean I can't burn CD's?"

Oh, one of those chicks. I don't suppose I want to know which features you mean.

Try doing tech support.

I encounter people who buy audio gear and don't know what "input" and "output" mean.

My roommate once asked why his internet was so slow. I told him ne needed a shorter cord. "The longer the cord," I told him "the longer the internet takes to get to from the wall to your computer."

I fail to see why that is a problem.

EDIT: For proper calibration, read the instructions written in Mandarin, Korean, and Japanese. Simply match the sexy asian chick with the correlated language.
