Butch’s Bitch
I had to by a black print cartridge for my printer, and then a colour one. The whole ordeal set me back almost $50. Why? Why are print cartridges so fucking expensive?
From what I can tell there are two parts to a print cartridge, the plastic casing, and the ink it contains. Surely these two don’t amount to $50? I wonder what type of person makes print cartridges.
“Interviewer”
So tell me about your job
Print Maker
Well, I put the ink in the in the cartridge
“Interviewer”
Anything else to it?
Print Maker
No, that’s about it
Its like when you were a kid, and you would get fizz wizz sherbet. Again it has two parts
1. Sherbet
2. The little spoon
Yet, sometime you would open the packet, and the guy at the factory had forgot where he was up to in his train of thought (”Spoon, sherbet, spoon, sherbet, spoon, sherbet……. uh…… sherbet”) and has hence forgotten your complimentary little plastic spoon. So you spend the rest of the afternoon trying to get sherbert in your mouth straight from the packet, without snorting it up your nostrils.
Why did they never forget the sherbet I wonder and just have an empty bag with a spoon only? That would be great.
Once I even got two spoons..
What’s my point?… to tell you the truth I have forgotten.
Please feel free to add this to your blog.
YEAH! Fuckers … that’s been thorn in my side before, expensive sherbet packets, um, no, printer cartridges. Cheaper to get ink from a squid, where do they get their ink, bloody refined oil from the middle-east.
