Hey, SOMEbody's gotta be the village idiot

(Please note:  This is not a sponsored post. Someone would have to be out of their mind to want to sponsor any of MY posts.)


So! I decided to take the window AC unit out of the foster room last night. The nights are getting cold, and you could practically see the heat escaping out of the house through those flimsy little accordion-side-thingies, so it was time to pull the AC out of the window.

I briefly considered buying one of those trailer-trashy silver outdoor cover things and leaving the AC in the window all winter, but sh*t, even I'M not that lazy. Besides, it was only held in by three screws. How hard could it be, right?

Yeah, you see where this is going.

I removed the screws, pushed up a little on the window so I could pull the unit in, and

WHOMP

right out the window it went.  I swear, that thing flung itself out the damn window.

BOMP bomp

as it hit the ground.

And I will tell you what, Frigidaire makes one fine piece of equipment, because I brought that baby inside, pounded out the dents, plugged it in, and that sucker fired right up. Of course, I'm sure it also helped that we got a metric ton of rain the other day and the ground outside that window was about as firm as a marshmallow, but still.

Frigidaire. Sparing village idiots from the embarrassment of having to replace a brand-new AC unit because they let it fall out the window. Thanks, Frigidaire!

I don't have anything to contribute except to say that I really did laugh out loud while reading "flung."
