funny story: piss your pants

[keith66]

my best friend and his twin brother have a tree removal business. so here's what happened.(names changed for no good reason)
My buddy Joe had just moved 20 miles from where he previously lived.Knowining full well that a saw shop closer to home would be a lot easier to frequent, he stopped into an echo dealer saw shop closer than a mile to his house.Usually he wouldn't buy echo (stihl is his choice of saw) but the guys where very friendly and convinced him that echo has come a real long way so he thought what the heck I'll give it a shot.He purchased a climbing saw and a bigger model that was around 650 bucks. He felt excited about having a shop right down the road. He made it a habit to stop in just for little nick nacks aswell just to support the local fellows. Not long after, he had problems with the bigger saw so he brought it back in, so they could fix it under warranty.Well so happens that even though all 7 other saws one being the climbing echo were still running fine they charged him a few hundred bucks to fix the saw because they claimed he ruined it with the wrong gas mixture.Joe has never been an irrate fellow and tries to keep so he sucked it up and just figured he would stay clear.He drives buy the shop almost every day so he felt good about eating it and just chalking it up. (or as good as one can under those circumstances)Well just a little bit after he got the saw back, it started acting up again while he was on a big job.He didn't have a bigger saw with him and just flat out fed up with the piece of crap.He ended up calling his wife and asking her to go to the stihl shop on route 641.Somehow he forgot that the echo shop was on 641 and forgot to mention that the other one was 10 miles the other way.His wife being a bit of a spitfire flew down to the shop that her husband had mentioned.She walked in and said in a loud voice" my husband Joe Nid you know him right?" "yeah"he is in a jam and he needs a stihl 066 .The fellow behind the counter explained with a crooked smile that they only sell echo.She asked"this is Cutters right?"Sorry Mrs Nids this is Fixes,Cutters is 10 miles down the road"."Whoops!" she said and headed to her car. Joe still drives by the shop everyday but his wave is usually one of those half waves that you do when you catch yourself waveing to someone you don't know.
The moral of the storie is buy the saw you know is good the first time and you'll avoid the malarky

That was a long story.

Dealer service is EVERYTHING. I had a dodge pickup and it kept having minor problems and the dealer would mess around every time I took it in. They wouldnt have it done on time, they wouldnt fix it right the first time etc etc, next truck I bought was a Ford. That truck had major major problems, trans, injectors etc but overall I was happier witht he ford even though I had more and bigger problems with it because the dealer was VERY congenial and would work with me and try their best to make me happy.

I didnt piss myself? I did get the moral of the story though.

 

[mckeetree]

I just pissed myself a little and I have not even read the story.

That makes 2!!!!!

Now that was funny $hit and I don't care who you are!

 

[treemandan]

I don't get it. Its Ok though, I pissed my pants anyway, twice yesterday.What is this thing you keep refering to as an echo?
good luck and I hope you get this fixed up.

Dealer service is EVERYTHING.

So true, I've loved my 346 and 385 for years, but the closest Husky shop puts a higher priority on the lawnmowers.

There is a Stihl shop less then 10 min from my house, 5 if I make the lights, that is getting my business now (though I am not as enthralled with the 026 as the 346...) Service is much better, and they even did a little work on my 385 once.

I just read it out-loud and my whole family who could hear me, pissed themselves . The moral I got out of that story is buy Stihl. Seriously, I do use Stihl and the shop I use is owner operated and the guy is fantastic at fixing problems. I use to work for a R/O company that tried every make of saw, in the hands of idiots Stihl was the one that made it to the top, at least that was the owners findings and I agree 100%. Dogs must have heard me reading because they pissed on themselves also. One more thing my wife was on the phone with a friend while I was reading this, you guessed it she pissed on herself too.

 

[mcinfantry]

i pissed, but only a little and only inside.

does that count?

funny would have been if he told his wife to grab the echo from the house and throw it through the plate glass window.

but my humor is different than yours.

 

[tree MDS]

I dony know what part of CT your buddies are in but tell them to check out Newtown Power Equipment, they have stihl and husky and excellent service. I think I've seen echo's there as well but who notices those anyway.

$650 for a echo...I'll refrain from that ghey googly eyed smiley.

 

[scattergun13]

I just read this and pissed on my wife! Which she got pretty pissed about...:hmm3grin2orange:

Now THAT was sorta funny, the OP was not, at all. To make yours a little funnier: The wife goes ahead and throws his Echo through the window-----of the place that sells the Stihls!

But she pissed on the Echo first!:hmm3grin2orange:

I only piss in the woods.

 

[yooper]

I pissed in the snow bank and made a happy face the other day....wasnt my best artwork, as I was a tad bit drunk.

 

[Nailsbeats]

I went out and got one of those Piss on Echo truck window stickers after reading this. They truly are junk and you aint gonna tell me otherwise.

Years ago (just getting started in the biz) I bought the biggest saw Echo made from the local dealer. I got a 27" bar on it and it was supposed to be the cats meow. After a month I took it back to the shop and told them I think something is wrong with the saw...it will barely pull the chain around the bar let alone cut a stump down.

Their solution to my problem was to put a 16" bar on the saw so it would cut faster. Shortly thereafter I bought a stihl 046 and never turned backed.

I aslo have to say the 3 stihl dealers I use are the cats meow.
