Idiot Sightings

We had to have the garage door repaired. The Sears

> we did not have a "large" enough motor on the opener.
> I thought for a minute, and said that we had the largest
> one Sears made at that time a 1/2 horsepower.
> He shook his head and said, "Lady, you need a 1/4
> horsepower." I responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4.
> He said, "NO, it's not." Four is larger than two."
> We haven't used Sears repair since.
