Yup...I actually do...People pay me to look at their stuff...really.
here is a story for you:
One day a man had a dishwasher that did not work, several service men were called and no one could not fix it, see, the machine used too much soap and water, and some plates were not being cleaned...the owner was spending a fortune is water and soap...
Then this quiet guy was recommended, a small man, with no hair...but at a cost, his rates are double of what the other men chraged, and you needed to wait weeks sometimes months, to get this guy to just show up to troubleshoot.
Well, the owner finnally called the small man, he comes in, closes the door, and comes back 2 days later...the machine was now fully repaired, using only 80% of the soap, and the water came out cleaner, and used much less water. The plates were never as clean as they were now...
So a few weeks later, the owner gets the bill...WOW!!!! $2000 ?????? to fix my machine???
He sends a fax to the small man and says:
"Dear small hairless machine fixing man, I knew your rates were exhorbitant, and I kne you could fix it, and am very pleased with my machine. I already saved $2000 in soap and water, and the local EPA sent me a check for $50 for keeping my water clean....
But you are chgarging me $2000 for your work?? how??? please send detaild invoice of your work.
Regards, dishwasher owner"
The reply from the small hairless dishwasher man was:
"dear dishwasher owner, here is detailed invoice:
Turning 1 screw 3 times to the right ..... $ 1.00
Knowing what screw to turn..................$ 1.999.00
Signed
Dishwasher consultant"
Not that I repair dishwashers!!!
