Sometimes Things Aren’t Broken, They Just Need a Different Level of Analysis
Posted on Friday, May 9, 2008 by Frank RocheI like an escalator because an escalator can never break, it can only become stairs. There would never be an escalator temporarily out of order sign, only an escalator temporarily stairs. Sorry for the convenience.

Hi Frank,
This could be fun. So…
A broken toilet is temporarily a chair?
A broken refrigerator is temporarily a cupboard?
A broken laptop is temporarily a weight in your briefcase?
OK. I could fiddle away my morning here. Only boring stuff on my list today. Thanks for the diversion.

I love Mitch Hedberg. He was a brilliant and funny guy.

I like broken parking meters. I don’t believe that Philadelphia, with its bazillion meters, owns a single “Meter out of order” sign. Meters turned into poles are even better than escalator/stairs because they improve with malfunction.
Like:
– airline over-bookings forcing you into a free upgrade
– school and work on snowdays
– go-cart throttle limiters
– chastity belts

HR Wench…Hedberg was really a piece of work.
