[Rhodes22-list] Appliance vibes?

[Wally Buck]

Slim,

Kitchen Aids are the best! One of our neighbors is a confirmed 50-year-old 
bachelor. He got a Kitchen Aid Mixer as a gift from his sister. He travels a 
lot with his job and we often watch his place and pets. I mentioned I liked 
his new mixer and he said he would never use such a thing. He offered it to 
me; he said it would just take up space. I offered to buy it and he said 
don’t worry about it.

Later when his sister asked him how he liked his mixer he mentioned he gave 
it away. She gave him a bunch of grief and cussed him out. He jokingly 
mentioned this to me and of course I offered the mixer back. He said not to 
worry about it he would just tell his sister he got it back and that would 
be fine because she never visits. This was 13 years ago and I still have the 
mixer and the same guy still lives next door.
