Peter Wynn Thompson for the New York Times
From The New York Times comes an entertaining, cautionary tale about accepting free but questionable gifts or playing Mr. or Ms. Fix-It when you don’t know the first thing about fixing it.
The moral of the story: If you don’t know how to install a toilet, bleach your hair or replace your car battery, hire a professional. Paying to have your ganky repair repaired will likely cost you more than you would have saved doing it yourself.
Also, if anyone offers you the raw meat left over from their barbecue, for the sake of your stomach and other internal organs, do not eat that meat.
