Marisol Turned Me Down -- twice

I order a weekend deal from cigar.com, tell them throw in a digital hygro, hygro comes reading like 20 - 25 points off, I follow the calibration directions on the paper that came with it, no luck, call c.com, they surmise it's borked, and shoot me out another. In the meanwhile, I ask the BOTLs in room 101, one of whom knows the corrected instructions for this device, I try that, and it works. But by now, the replacement is already on the way. So this morning I call cigar.com, Marisol answers, I ask her to bill me twenty bucks for the hygro cause there was nothing wrong with the first one, just the instructions. Marisol refuses me. Tried to get her to put twenty in their picnic beer fund or whatever. Checks with management. Refuses me again. Not the first time I've been turned down twice by the same gal.
,br> So here's what I've come up with: The replacement hygro arrives tomorrow. I'll pull the tab to activate it. I'll note down what it reads when I pull the tab.
Now, are you on the fence whether to put in an order? Go ahead and put in your order with cigar.com, you got to ask for Marisol and tell her "next time don't turn an old goat down", I'll take your word you did, post here what you think my replacement hygro is gonna read right out of the box, in this format:
I told Marisol! I ordered xxx! Hygro reads yy!
Closest to the number by Monday gets a PDR fiver from me.
You know, any slender excuse to fire off sticks

Also, I'm in need of a digital hygro... so if you feel like getting rid of your extra pm me and we can work something out. Thanks for the contest.
Hope your new hygro works better than the 1st one.
You know what would be real sneaky ---- bomb the 5-er to CCOM HQ, attn: Marisol. With a note that tells her that's what she gets for "turning an old goat down"

Hey RedHead (pelirojo) I think I may just put the extra hygro to work on my commuter motorcycle. Next time it gets hot and oppressive I can put a number to it. Or I might put it to work in the attic when I start curing my sotweed harvest up there.
I really didn't order anything or talk to Marisol.... but if I could, that's what it'd be, and that's what my guess to your new hygro reading would be.
I thought he was ordering White Owls
Well, the instant I pulled the tab, the device read 40%. So Lee McGlynn came closest, guessing 45%. But my idea was to have someone who was ordering from cigar.com phone staff pull Marisol's leg. Nobody did that.
That's alright. Plan B is under preparation right now. Just need a couple more items for the care package. And, of course, I'm not going anywhere near the post office lines on tax day.
As for the fiver, even though Lee didn't complete the mission, I'm going to drop it in his pass, which should be here any day now. By the time the pass gets back to him, the PDRs may have been swapped out for something even better. If nothing else, it will help plump that box up a bit.
Short attention span theater. Gotta love it.
