Subject: [H] Bill Gates' new house
I don't know if this is old, but it was the first time for me.
Thought you guys might get a kick out of it.

Bill Gates New House... _____A_
/ /\
__/__/\__/ \___
Bill Gates called his contractor and --/__|" '' "|/___/\----
said, in a disgruntled tone: "There |''|"'||'"| |' '||
are a few issues we need to discuss." `""`""))""`"`""""`
Contractor: "Ah, you have our basic support option. Calls are free
for the first 90 days and $75.00 per call thereafter. Okay?"
Bill: "Uh, yeah.... The first issue is the living room. We think it's
a little smaller than we anticipated."
Contractor: "Yeah. Some compromises were made to have it out by the
release date."
Bill: "But we won't be able to fit all our furniture in there."
Contractor: "Well, you have two options. You can purchase a new,
larger living room or you can use a Stacker."
Bill: "Stacker???"
Contractor: "Yeah. It allows you to fit twice as much furniture into
the room. By stacking it, of course, you put the entertainment center
on the couch... the chairs on the table...etc. You leave an empty
spot, so when you want to use some furniture you can un-stack what
you need and then put it back when you're done."
Bill: "Uh...I dunno??? Anyway, the second issue is the light
fixtures. The bulbs we brought with us from our old home won't fit.
The threads run the wrong way."
Contractor: "Oh! That's easy. Those bulbs aren't plug and play.
You'll have to upgrade to the new bulbs."

.---/ '____ Bill: "And the electrical outlets?
_________' | .----' The holes are round, not
---------. | |____ rectangular. How do I fix
'---\_.----' that?
Contractor: "Just un-install and reinstall the electrical system."
Bill: "You're kidding!?"
Contractor: "Nope. Its the only way."
.----------------.
Bill, sighing: "Oh, well... I have ;----------------;
one last problem. Sometimes when I | ~~ .------. |
have guests over, someone will | / \ |
flush the toilet and it won't stop. | / \ |
The water pressure drops so low the | | | | ,----.
showers don't work." | \ , , / | =|____|=
'---,########,---' (---(
Contractor: "That's a resource /##' '##\ )---)
leakage problem. One fixture is |##, ,##| (---(
failing to terminate and is bogging \'######'/ '---`
the resource preventing access from \`""""`/
other fixtures." |`""`|
.-| |-.
Bill: "And how do I fix that?" / ' ' \
'----------'
Contractor: "Well, after each flush,
you all need to exit the house, turn off the water at the street,
turn it back on, re-enter the house and then you can get back to
doing your duty."
Bill: "That's the last straw. What kind of product are you selling
me?"
Contractor: "Hey, if you don't like it, nobody made you buy it."
Bill: "And when will it be fixed?"
Contractor: "Oh, in your next house, which will be ready to release
sometime near the end of next year. Actually, it was due out this
year, but we've had some delays..."
