Virginia: Hand me that screwdriver, will you?

Alonso: Don’t tell me you’re trying To fix that dryer yourself. We need to call in an Authorized repairman or repairwoman.

Virginia: Do you have any idea what they’ll Charge?

Alonso: All right, then I’ll call a Handyman and see if he knows anything about fixing dryers.

Virginia: If he doesn’t, he might Make matters worse. I think it’s just a matter of clearing a Clog or replacing a Worn component.

Alonso: Yes, but which one? We should just Upgrade to a newer model.

Virginia: This dryer does not need to be Replaced. It’s not that old.

Alonso: But it’s been On the fritz On and off for a year.

Virginia: I don’t want to throw out a Perfectly good appliance just because of a minor problem.

Alonso: Well, this “minor problem” is the reason I had to walk to work in Damp clothes this morning.

Virginia: That wasn’t so bad, was it?

Alonso: In the middle of winter?! You try walking with Icicles in the most uncomfortable places!
