another craigslist poster has a senior moment

I wonder if the seller is getting rid of this "dishwasher" because it seems to be "baking" food particles on the dishes??

and one more

This GE dishwasher must not have graduated from high school, as it has a "GED."

OK, the wall range being mistaken for a dishwasher takes the cake. The big, stupid cake.

Although...I wonder if the same seller is selling both a dishwasher and a wall oven and mixed up the photos for the two ads. Please, God, let that be what happened.

Let's see if there  is an oven on sale with a photo of   a dishwasher, then if we can find also a microwave sold as a TV or a refrigerator sold as a cupboard, well.....poor guy....LOL

If so I just hope he forgot his glasses.....

I'd LOVE to have a DW with a big glass window. Bet it sanitizes like a zombie too.

The clean cycle on that "dishwasher" would surely get the dried on stuff off but might not be safe for plastics.

The GED dishwasher, however, was a entry level model. Spending a few more bucks would get you an actual Smart Wash model...

an electric dishwasher!

What will they think of next, a dishwasher that runs on electricity.

The gas ones were hard to keep lit.

I guess this is "Whirlpool" pronounced with a southern accent.

No....

....The correct Deep South pronunciation would be "Whirr-pooh."

"L's" come very hard to those born before television smoothed out Southern accents - well, at least a bit.

My own mother - born in '31 - still says "miwk" for "milk."

Sandy, I can top your mother. I grew up saying "warsh" instead of wash. It took some effort for me to break that habit. I grew up in Ohio, so I don't know if that was something just to do with the midwest or southern Ohio or what, but I heard "warsh" a lot.

When I start saying "Hey Y'all, I just put some of them there dishes in my vintage Whirrpooh dishwarsher." I know its time I moved up north, maybe to Brooklyn.

A fried once asked if there was a name for the hose on a steam iron.

I asked, why would there be a hose on a steam iron?

Then it dawned on me, he was saying, "is there a name for the HOLES on a steam iron."

My mom grew up in east KY/TN and says warsh and warshington (her only southernisms) - her mom was from Nebraska and dad from western PA, hence he being asked if she was from Western Pennsylvania often.
