The dishwasher is a Whirlpool and it came with the house. We don’t want to have to buy anything … Luckily the piece that fell off was stupid. It’s still sitting on the counter.

@ Bound and Gags – Every single one of our dogs has some weird story behind him/her. We’ve never, ever, been those people who say “Hey, let’s start thinking about getting a dog,” and then begin researching breeds and breeders. Nope, not us.

@ Maxine – I know, right? I so regret not yelling out “The door.”

And you TOTALLY should have said, “The door.”

To answer your question, technically, although I paid for him, had him on my lap all the way home, feed and scoop him, no, he’s not.

I love the technicality of ownership but, sadly, my girlfriend is more a believer of the ‘you had to have something to do with it because you’re still alive’ school of blame.

I guess we’re going to have to prop up a shingle and start selling No Fault Insurance then.

Was it the piece that says “MAYTAG” or “WHIRLPOOL” on it? Cause I’ve heard that once that piece falls off the dishwasher stops working in like a year or less. So you better get that issue of Consumer Reports, and buy the crap Walmart Brand next time.

@ Bound and Gags – Ha. Is Brutus “technically” your cat? Meaning that you are the one who brought him home? If so, that’s why you’re at fault. This is what happens here in our house. If an offending dog happens to be “technically” mine, then whatever he does falls under my jurisdiction and I am at fault.

I’m sure Buck thinks I had something to do with the thing that fell off the dishwasher. As a matter of fact, I know he’s convinced himself I somehow did it. I wish I could sell you some No Fault policy, but I’m looking for one myself.
