Re: Humour in the TV trade.
These stories are legion.
We once had a customer whose television always HAD to be repaired in her home: we could not take it to the workshop because "my budgie will pull all his feathers out". On one occasion a workshop repair was the only possibility: "But, ... what will I DO ?" (I, note, not the budgie). So we produced a newspaper cutting for her to read, and said "You don't want to get like that, do you, Madam ?"
The cutting reported how a man, deprived for two days of his television set, had ... committed suicide.
No trouble with her after that !
