Random Wordplay for Wednesday 8/19/15

The refrigerator is lactose intolerant!

Used in a sentence:  "The refrigerator is lactose intolerant!"

(Because, you know ... it *already* stands alone as a sentence.)

To catch you up on the story so far ... the original refrigerator sprung a leak, which is not a good thing when it sits next to the back door, as the puddle underneath becomes something like a desert oasis for all kinds of critters.  And so a new/used one was ordered through a local appliance outlet (more about them later), and at the risk of sounding like a Kardashian, a bigger and blacker one was sought out.

Which was, in and of itself, cause for celebration EXCEPT the new/used one doesn't seem to be cold enough for the milk or the ice cream (hence the diagnosis of it being lactose intolerant).  A thermometer soon proved that it just had no interest in going below 45 degrees in the lower compartment.

Here's the amazing part of the story ... the staff at that appliance outlet ... all kinds of experts in customer service.  They sent someone shortly after delivery to fix the door that wasn't closing properly ... and then again to prove that the compressor was the culprit.  And now, they have agreed to swap it out with a loaner and to have that compressor fixed so that they can return it fully functioning.  Mind you, this was on an item that only cost just over $200 to start with -- so bully to you and your team, outlet center ... and here's to the eventual upcoming happy ending.
