Raising The Roof On Life Expectancy
A customer comes in who looks like he was already middle-aged when the dinosaur-killing asteroid struck the Earth. This man was ancient.
Customer: “You sell the roof shingles?”
Me: “Yes, we have a selection over here.”
Customer: “What’s the warranty on those?”
Me: “If you go through one of our accredited installers, the warranty is good for twenty years.”
Customer: *Angry and defensive.* “So then if something goes wrong after twenty-one years, I’m f***ed, am I?!”
It took some willpower to tell him that would be somebody else’s problem. Then again, if he can survive a dinosaur-killing asteroid, he can probably outlive a shingle manufacturing warranty…
