Title: America's Funniest home videos

Don't you think this pic looks like a potential winner on AFV? (assuming a video camera was there to catch what happened next.

If I had to fill in the audio for this, it'd be something along the lines of:

"Hey, Moe, nyuk, nyuk, nyuk".  
"Oh, A wise guy, eh?"
With slap sounds followed by crash noises and little birdies chirping and flying around in a circle.

And ending with the song "3 blind mice".

My eye keeps going back to that "interesting" stain job on the side of the spa.

Looks like a few rolls of duck tape were used as well. Anyone make out any bailing wire or chewing gum?

Hey! I recognize that spa! Isn't that Eric's tub? Finally got properly bleached out I guess.

The good news is that the termites only like the white part as well as cotton candy.

P.S.  If something like that rolled into my driveway, I'd come out shooting first and asking questions later.

I had to unload a spa that way.

Once.

The wrapping job on the spa alone would be enough to make me kick somebody in the seat of their pants.  Good grief, what a total Flim Flam Man.

Upon yet another "second look"............

ummmmmmmmm, isn't the "packaging" supposed to protect the spa till it's moved into it's final place?  The few deliveries I've been privileged enough to watch, they unwrap the spa once it's sitting in place on the pad.

Sunlight?  Who needs that?  That's what night sights are for!  Or Crimson Trace laser sights.
Or a stinger light mounted on the rail.

The really sad part is that they're proud to post these pictures figuring they are showing us all something.

The only thing they're really showing us is

a) The ambulance is just out of camera view for all casualties

b) Their superb wrapping is the highest quality aspect of their spas.

c) Jim is getting fatter and dumber looking by the day

d) Those silly grins on all their faces will soon be removed when the sound of cracking boards and snapping acrylic changes their outlook on buying a H**en.

e) Those cardboard boxes are disguised as cover boxes but actually contain all the parts and pieces for gluing the tub back together once it has fallen off (uhhh delivered off of) the trailer.

f) The paper in Jim's shirt pocket behind his chew'n terbaca contains the name of the local repair guy from the lawn mower shop around the corner to provide extensive warranty work on their new $10,000 spa. ::)

g) the unique "multi dait staining" on the skirt has been provided by none other than Mother Nature as this spa (like all of them) are sundried for no less than 3 months outdoors in direct sunlight. The spider cracks in the acrylic are nothing more than "character lines". ;D  


It's pathetic but it sure makes the rest of us glad we can provide a quality product, delivered professionally with ongoing support and service to our customers. Unfortunately, these poor buggers can't say that.  :-/

I can't get over the wrap job....are these people so brainwashed that they can't see for themselves that a 3-year old one-legged drunk spider monkey obviously wrapped their spa in Glad trash bags?  I wonder if that is the $75 thermal blanket underneath the first layer of bags.  Surreal......

Brainwashed?  Why no!  They are obviously highly edjumacated proffeshinels.  All of his customers are engineers, doctors, lawyers, and rocket scientists.

If they bought a spa the way they did, then they don't know any better.  I'm sure they've been CONvinced that this is the first class way to package and deliver the finest spas in the universe.

I'm kinda glad he offered this picture...I haven't been able to see the "highly structural" 2x2 pine base before.

That should last almost through the warranty period..

I'm sure it will since the true warranty period equals the amount of time it takes him get out of town.

So it's a 5x5 warranty?

5 feet and five minuets before he doesn't care anymore?

What I don't understand is ... how come he's unloading the spa? Isn't he supposed to back up really fast and slam on the brakes and have the tub unload itself?

Looking at those pictures I can't tell which parent he resembles more...

He never gives out numbers but we know what 2+2 equals. His truck holds 6 spas and he's talked about his trips where they start in Colorado, go to Kalamazoo, over to New York, down to Boone County (the stronghold of his confederacy), then further down to Florida and back to Colorado. He obviously isn't selling enough to make a Northeast run and then a separate Southeast run and then maybe a West Coast run. Maybe things will change now that he's bringing in all these H@^&# reps (rumor has it Steve is in negotiations to rep all of Canada). ;D

 Seems as tho he goes along on almost all of the deliveries.  Wouldn't someone running a thriving business be too busy to tour the USA delivering spas?
