twilight zone

so my Whirlpool dryer

started squeaking all the time

decided to fix it myself

so i ordered the part online

put my faith in the company

that was a bad start

package came by UPS

it was the wrong fucking part

dryer kept on squeaking

even woke up my grandson next door

wife said, "get a repairman"

"i can't take this no more"

phone up the repairman

was gonna charge me a hundred bucks

just to come and take a look

i said, "what the fuck?"

so off i go to youtube

there is a video on how to repair

properly, my Whirlpool dryer

get the wife out of my hair

once again i order the part

the right one this time

i get it a few days later

look at the dryer, "you are mine"

i decided to do the laundry first

before i tried to repair

could take me forever

once i get inside there

cautiously i filled the dryer

with the first wet load

expecting to hear God awful noises

that could stop cars on the road

but there was nothing

not even the slightest peep

the dryer had stopped squeaking

as if in a deep sleep

its been three weeks

and that sonofabitch hasn't squeaked once

its true

talk about the Twilight Zone

its as if .... it knew
