I am sitting at my bench, I hear a car drive up to the building and idling, the phone rings. "Is this the auto shop?" NO maam, this is not the auto shop, sorry. I hear the car start to pull away. Clearly the car driver was who had called. I went to the door and looked out to see a car half backed away from the parking spot. The lady saw me and pulled back in.
I asked if she was who just called me. Yes.
She had been driving past us every day, and saw a sign that read "Audio repair" which she apparently did not understand was different from auto repair. She wanted her car fixed.
Education is what you're left with after you have forgotten what you have learned.
... That's $1.00 for the chalk mark and $49,999.00 for knowing where to put it!
Was she driving an Audi???
hey dyslexics spend money too! Perhaps you should become a homeopathic car mechanic "on the side"?
My daughter (16) just told me a local restaurant we passed hundreds of times was named "Clam Jumper" because it served seafood; she never saw the "i" in Claim...
Watch out for that homeopathic stuff. They claim the more you dilute it the better it works. Well, I knew a guy once who forgot to take his homeopathic medicine and died from an overdose.

Well, if diluting it more and more makes it stronger and stronger, then not taking it at all would be like the ultimate dilution... SO not taking any at all would be then an overdose... y'see?...
That is the problem with homeopathic claims. Then ther is the whole dumping it down the drain dilutes it further into the water system, so everyone must be getting the benefits just by drinking the water.

That's what a Chemist friend said once, just by drinking tap water we should all be healthy (or dead), because by definition it contains *everything* , infinitely diluted.
And he also calculated how many molecules of anything existed in , say, one gram of something, and by diluting it a lot of times the Homeopathic way, we would reach a point (quite closer than what I imagined) where we would be left with just one last molecule in that water, and in the next dilution, we would either have it in the remaining liquid (10 % possibilities) or it would be thrown in the sink (90 % possibilities)
An Homeopathic Pharmacy employee told me once that where he worked, they had one large vat called "Universal Medicine", filled with tap water plus a little of any "medicine" they made for any customer.
Worst case, if the prescription was lost or they lacked some ingredient, they sold some of that multipurpose water.
Oh well.
Snake oil of the highest quality.
The homeopathetic would maintain you must correctly use a "succussion" machine (which also cost big $$) to impart the "ghostly imprint" of the non-existent molecules on the "medium" in question, otherwise everything would be "therapeutic"...
the UK comedy team of Mitchell and Webb did a pretty good send up of homeopathy here:

tremendous profit margin in homeopathy! the Amazing Randi (a hero of mine) was called on to debunk a famous "scientific" homeopathic result by the prestigious science journal, Nature:

Hey points for tedmich. I been following Randi for years and years, Hell I even subscribe to Skeptical Inquirer and Skeptic.

So is the glass half full or half empty?
Or Do you even have a Glass?

Depends what is in the glass.

Hah! Nice one...
I are also biggest fan of near street best mechanics who working on Sunday.
So does this mean I can get Autio repair done on my steroidal sound system on wheels on sunday, arrrrrr!! Pirate's booty is just across the street while I waits...
Funny thing is it's clearly written in "Engrish".
I understand Chinese want to sell *anything* , but .... local auto repair shops?
Unless they are building a spiderweb of interlinked, Chinese Mafia owned shop networks.
Oh well.

Years ago my brother in law, (who was working with me at the time), found an article about the monks doing holistic auto repair in Asia. Told him we should try it, they not only fix the car, but also exorcise the demons who caused the problems to start with. They had a 10+ year apprentice program, and evidentally are pretty good mechanics. The only hitch is that they keep your car, and fix everything, or they don't work on it.
Maybe we are getting franchises over here now!
I guess it's in Chinglish because the programming was outsourced.
