Fix your PC with a crystal pendulum.

Having computer problems? Why spend hundreds of dollars on software, technical support, or buying a new computer when you can fix the problem yourself with a crystal pendulum?

1. If it's worth $3000, I'll sell it and buy a really nice Mac.
I almost did, but I still likes my Ubuntu penguin...

5. I've never used 'sucker' as a term for candy.

That and I'm pretty sure the video is parody...at least I hope it is.

9. "There's a sucker born every minute" is not about candy.
Just because the word 'sucker' can mean 'gullible person' and 'candy' doesn't mean that 'gullible person' and 'candy' are interchangeable terms.

By saying, "what's that statement about candy, birth, and time," you were alluding to a statement that has something to do with candy, not a statement with a word that can also mean candy, but has nothing to do with candy.

11. Puns don't work when they're dependent on regional dialects.
As I stated before, I've never used 'sucker' for 'lollipop.' I don't personally know anyone who does. I've heard it used in that context maybe twice.

If you meant it as a pun, it failed because it was dependent on your regional dialect.

12. Which regional dialect?
I live in TX, spent my teens in OH, was born in Austria and grew up there and in Germany. I've also lived in VA, FL and CA. I've heard lollipops referred to as suckers all over the country.

14. I've lived in CA, OR, and WA and never heard it spoken by anyone I knew.
Must be a west-coast thing. My wife says that the only person she ever knew who used it was a grandparent from Oklahoma.

7. Man, if I'd known you could use a pendulum to recharge electronics,
I wouldn't have spent 50 bucks today on rechargable batteries for our solar garden lamps. :rofl:
