"Seriously, 'Manda, the company thinks this garbage is going to get us new customers?" Dr. Williams joked. His partner had just read him the new advertising pamphlet released from Sigmund Corp.
"I mean, if it works it works? I didn't think it was that bad."
"No, bad's not the word I would use. Depressing maybe. Highly inaccurate, that's for sure. I mean, seriously, 'live the life you've always wanted'? 'It's never too late'? Are these nursing home slogans or funeral home slogans? I can't tell."

"Ok, fine. That was a low blow. But hey, at least they got one thing right. 'Highly trained technicians'. That sounds like we got a promoti-"
"WATCH THE ROAD!"
Dr. Williams, too busy poking fun at their company's new advertising strategy, hadn't noticed the squirrel run into the middle of the city road.
With him and Dr. Bayer both screaming, Dr. Williams swerved the car, first avoiding the squirrel, then several lanes of traffic, followed by a mailbox, a fire hydrant, and a couple of trees. Eventually, he skidded the car to a stop in front of their destination, Sunset Towers.
"Highly trained technicians, huh?" joked Dr. Bayer, still catching her breath.
"Yeah, shut up." Dr. Williams joked back. "At least I didn't hit it."
"True," said Dr. Bayer, getting out of the car. "And for your reward, you get to carry the equipment upstairs to the apartment."
"Ugh....fine."
As Dr. Bayer filled the parking meter, Dr. Williams opened up the trunk and grabbed the machine.
"Thank god for Neil Watts," thought Dr. Williams, grabbing the machine, about the size and shape of a suitcase. "I can't imagine how old Sig Corp employees carried this stuff around."
"You coming?" Called Dr. Bayer.
"Yeah," said Dr. Williams. "Just thanking Neil Watts for my un-broken back."
"Well, I'm sure you can thank him in person when we get upstairs," said Dr. Bayer, entering the apartment building.
