POWER TRIPPING

This is a brief addendum to an earlier rant about power cords.

1. The world will not end by a giant meteor slamming into us or by the sun suddenly going out. It will end by choking to death on defunct powercords.

2. In the event a power cord goes missing, one cannot find a fit from the brazilian(*) power cords clogging up the closets and drawers. One must buy a new one so that the powerless electronic device can be usable.

3. All powercords, regardless of the electronic device, cost $29.99. Plastic and wire. $29.99.

4. I think we should redirect our anger away from the petroleum companies and go after the powercord companies.

5. On second thought, let's get 'em both.


(*) That only makes sense if you've heard the joke about the 3 brazilian soldiers

Guess who makes the plastic for the power cords?

You're welcome to come over and look in my power cord drawer anytime - I think I have hundreds and you're right, they're never the right one - hmmmph!
