Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for October 01, 2020

The bank has a secret switch for when they receive that final payment! Beware if the check bounces!!! ;)

He should have bought a Toyota or Honda carriage

That is how a two year warranty works. Soon as you’ve paid off something, it breaks.

Radio control eject button somewhere maybe?

Never pay it off within earshot of it. Ya gotta do that on the sly.

This is too true to be very funny!

so much for being debt-free!

Extended warranties are a rip-off.

I went to Best Buy once to buy a cordless phone. They had it on sale for $2.99 (normally $15.99, I think it was.) When I went to pay for it, they tried to upsell me the extended warranty for a small price of $3.99. I told the sales person I could simply buy a second phone as a spare for less than that.

But even when the item is normal priced, an extended warranty (or a cell-phone protection plan, etc) is still WAY over-priced and the profit margin on those is out the roof.

I wonder if the wizard has stock in the bank or the used wagon dealership.

That is called “built in obsolescence”

Hmmm could be the start of a CarShield commercial.

Id is truly for Id-iots.

Now I’m worried. I have 1 more payment on my fiancé engagement ring.

The bank has a little button they press that does that.

The horse is probably interested in knowing when the loan comes due.

Meanwhile, pulling that carriage is gonna be a real drag.

I drove my Honda Accord 15 yrs and 350.000 miles. They cost a little more but are darn well worth it.

Impressive timing.

Are you sure that is the carriage you have been paying for?
