I give up...

This morning our faithful old Maytag washer failed. It would wash, but not go into the spin cycle and drain.

Whenever I have a broke machine, I always at least poke around and see if there are any loose wires. But there never are, so this time I didn't bother. (I did check that the belt wasn't broken, or the pump seized up.)

I called a repairman. He investigated, and seemed mystified. Suddenly it started to spin. He said, "That's funny. I just touched that wire, and it started. Must have been loose."

That's a good repairman. If he'd been really good, the machine would have started working just by him looking at it.

And if he'd been the True Master, it would have started working just after you called him.
