I always say, You get what you pay for! Cheap is not always best, if it is the cheapest, what are they skimping on?Saturday date night, He orders the Angus beef the size of Texas, she orders the lobster the size of Maine and both have the baked potato the size of Idaho…They are NOT sitting in McDonalds!
When I worked in an avionics shop for small planes some of the local FAA staff brought in a “parrot” – a transponder that was set up on a hillside to allow ATC to verify their equipment was still working. I remarked that I had not seen one of those wretched transponders in many years; the company was on the edge of failing and may have failed by then. One of the guys explained they were required to buy from the lowest bidder. That explains a lot.
One of my father’s many cousins placed the low bid to stop water leaking into the Dixie County courthouse, guaranteed for 5 years — just as the contract required. About 7 years later, the courthouse started to have water coming out the ceiling after a big rain. They went up in the attic to discover he had placed buckets wherever the leaks were. They took longer than 5 years to rust out. They wouldn’t consider his bid the second time around.

Is this a “Magic” Window? It seems to keep changing shape.

Could this be what is called a “shot window”?

My dad was an engineer and this was his joke, especially halfway through a rollercoaster ride. However, he was on the ride also.

Well, it looks like one window was a do-it-yourself-er and the other was contracted.

The king approves; nobody had to lift him up so he can see out of it!

There are some things one shouldn’t be cheap on… if that makes sense.

It’s a “king-sized” window!
Alberta Oil Premium Member about 3 years ago
A higher bidder would have put the window higher as well. Turns out just right for the king, cheap and low.

Surprised they even had time to do that since they’ve been so busy NOT working on Highway 24 between Illinois and Tennessee…
