Dad (under 60 years old) is a typical Soviet engineer. Of those who really love everything that is broken, to repair with the help of a solder, a mouth of blue isolants and such a mother.

In general, the parents of the house broke the radio receiver (which is wired broadcasting), and the mother is bored without it to mess in the kitchen. Dad began to shoot to repair, and accidentally turned out the outlet in which the receiver stuck - it was dirty. Returning the socket to its place, he accidentally stepped down on the board, so as not to fall, he grabbed the door of the dishwasher. It did not fall, but the door had to be repaired. In the process of repairing the door broke the screwdriver (this is a real mystery). In the receiver, as it turned out, the wire was ripped off, paired it to the place, the father dropped a joint on the table sheet (putting the newspaper - for the bugs)...

In general, - my mother breathed hard, telling this story, - saving 300 rubles is still very expensive!
