A Hillbilly Hermit Fax

Martin was in fine form on Sunday at lunch. Kris and Martin were expressing their frustrations with their respective all-in-one fax machines not connecting with certain other fax machines. They came to the conclusion that an all-in-one office machine isn’t really good at anything.

Martin fondly recalled his Brother fax machine and, in extolling its virtues, claimed, “Why that machine would receive a fax from a hillbilly hermit with nothing but a…a harmonica to send his tones!!”

The conversation eventually turned to Kris’s current problem with her e-mail program and its refusal to perform properly. Martin asked her if she had uninstalled and then reinstalled the program. “Now why would you do that?!?” Mom said, “There’s no point in uninstalling something just so you can reinstall it.”

“Well, you do that in hopes that the good Lord will smile down on you and fix your problem,” Martin explained to her. It cracked Kris and me up, but for anyone that has ever had a software problem, isn’t that the truth?!?
