Stupidity in Two Parts
"Babe, I need you to help me sort something out with the new dryer."
"What's going on with the dryer?"
"It's not working."
"It's not working?"
"No. Can you check the fuses for me?"
*check fuses*
"Is that better?"
"I still don't see any lights on it. Maybe we should switch out the extension cord. There is another extension cord downstairs."
"Okay, let's try."
*switch out power cord*
"Now?"
"Still nothing."
"Have you tried plugging it straight into the wall?"
"I did earlier and I got nothing."
"Arrrgh! *bad word*"
*heavy sighs*
"Well, is the washer working?"
"Yes, I think so. It appears to be."
"Let me check the fuse box again."
*check fuses again*
"Okay, that should be it. Try it now."
"Still nothing. There should be lights on. There are always lights on."
"Crap."
"I know."
"When did it stop?"
"Working you mean? Just this afternoon. It was fine and then it wasn't. I don't know what happened."
*clean filters--empty water condenser--rinse all removable parts--shake dryer for good measure*
"I just don't get it."
"Me either"
*additional heavy sighs, with brow wiping*
"Wait a second. Oh, hell, you are KIDDING ME?!"
"What ?"
"I saw lights! Do that again. Move the dial. There! There are the lights. It's on! It's working!"
*snorts of disbelief*
"Okay, see this. The dial is set to "0". Off perhaps? Holy crap--It's not broken, it just got turned off.! I am such a dork. I didn't even consider this! Oh, my dorkiness has reached epic proportions with this one. Sheesh! That's never happened before. What happened here?
Oh, wait. I know.
AAAAAAAANNNNNNDDDDRRRREEEEWWWW!"
*cue laugh track*
