Kevin's Watch

There must be a joke in here somewhere... maybe that starts with "How many Russian men does it take to install a hydraulic dampener on a door?"

Igor and Stevin just spent an hour installing a hydraulic door arm on my office door. Why did it take them so long? Because they kept arguing then consulting the directions and then whoever had the tools would start trying to work on it and the other one would start arguing again and take the tools away. It was like watching a Monty Python skit only I couldn't understand a word they were saying except niet.

There's a joke in there somewhere, right?

I think the answer might be in the install directions.
If they were written in Chinese copied from a 14th century Dutch translation of Middle English poetry about Greek space travel like the directions to my kids swing set from Toys R Us were then there's absolutely nothing funny about it and you own them an apology.
But chances are they were just a little drunk and you didn't notice.

I love you HLT.

Perhaps things would have went better if step #1 had been: Liberally apply vodka to Russian installers?

Maybe the real problem was that they left out that step!

You guys are hilarious.

The last guy I knew who was Russian, couldn't speak a word of English if he got the least bit upset or drunk - so, I think the joke stands for itself Jenn

Only in America could two Russians install a device made in China and the instructions are in Spanish.
(They probably drive a vehicle that came from Germany also!)

Funny story!

I think Igor is a cool name.

Wish you'd had a video camera, Jenn!!

Actually both of them drive cars made in Germany. Igor has two mini coopers and two bmws and Stevin has two bmws.

Igor has *four* cars?

Yeah. He's a maniac. He bought the first mini cooper under the false pretences of fixing it and selling it. He fell in love. Then he bought the second mini under false pretences of fixing it and selling it. It is soon to become his wife's new car. BUT he won't get rid of her BMW 740il because they need that for family outings. AND he won't get rid of his 735 because he might need it to go to Costco if she is driving the other BMW.

I figured it was something like that!

It's situations like this that I'm reminded of three simple letters, best illustrated by this photo......

You don't bring your own bananas to rock concerts? I thought everyone did that....

That guy disturbingly resembles Kurt Cobain.

I bet he brought it 'cause he knew he'd get the munchies.
