It comes with delivery and.......INSTALLATION !
3 Weeks ago my wife and I were shopping at Toys R Us for the kids and some friends children. They had a bucket at the door 'Drop a Biz card in to win'. Ok so I oblige and drop one or two..
Never thought about it again. This past Monday I get a call from someone who as usual completely murders my name. I smell BILL COLLECTOR ! I'm already not paying attn and close to hanging up when he says 'I'm from Toys R Us and want to congratulate you !' Huh ? Me ? Whatyu Talkin' bout Mr Drummond ? What did I win I ask. An Adventureland Playset the Pathfinder model he replies. Now I'm getting excited.
He goes on to say there was some prob alerting the winner of the drawing and with an apology he said they had included a slide for it at no cost. Too cool. When can we deliver it sir he asks?
Now....as soon as possible...whenever. He checks and says it can be delivered tom on Tuesday. Great , excellent see you tomorrow. I hang up the phone and...
Next morn comes I get a call at 7:45 saying they are on they way.
This is great the family is out of town and Adam will come home to see some new thing daddy won for him !
8:20 comes Beep Beep...truck is here.
2 guys get out. Where do you want it they ask ?
Oh yes right in the back yard I have a spot picked out for it I reply.
They open the truck and proceed to carry two huge long boxes around the back and put them down on the patio.
Sign here please sir.
??? Now I'm kinda curious why would he want me to sign for it ?
I HAVE NOT INSPECTED IT YET ? THEY HAVE NOT PUT IT TOGETHER YET ?
So politely I ask him why should I sign if you have not assembled it yet ?
YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD TWO GROWN MEN LAUGH SO HARD IN THEIR LIVES. LIKE TEN YR OLD GIRLS THEY SOUNDED.
Put it together they say, thats your job.
Have a nice day !
AaaarGH !
So for the last two days I have been assembling this CMTP (Chinese Mental Torture Puzzle) for my little buddy.
I hope he appreciates that daddy lost 3 of the last 5 hairs on his head doin' it !
In the end it only cost me a few hrs labor and 15 bucks. 10 for the flag and five for missing bolts which I am sure they get a great laugh out of at the factory !
I am thankful for the gift just mentally tired for the next six months.
