Silke Morisse

Comprei um banco para a minha Vespa no Ebay. Ao recebê-lo noto que tinha uma capa que tapava danos interiores, e que estava uma lástima. Por sorte, a partir do meu banco e daquele, consegui restaurar um único, que ficou em excelentes condições. Mas queixei-me ao senhor Silke Morisse, e dei-lhe uma apreciação negativa como vendedor no Ebay. Aqui fica a parte final da conversa:

Mr. Grilo,
at first, I´m a girl not a mr.,
second: this here is not my business - I´m mechanical engineer and I earn enough money with my job. I just clean up my garage and sell now all the things that I don´t need anymore, because I can´t through anything away.
und Sie sind echt der erste, der mir begegnet, der auf die Idee kommt, dass man neue bezüge über völlig intakte alte bezüge ziehen sollte. Und nein, ich hatte keine lust, alles zu zerlegen um darunter befindliche beschädigungen zu fotografieren, weil das ehrlich niemand interessiert. Sie ist so wie sie ist vollkommen bequem und absolut einsatzbereit. sie war genauso auf meinem Roller bereits drauf, als ich ihn gekauft habe, ich habe allerdings eine mono-sitzbank und hab sie deshalb nun endgültig verkauft.
Sie sind unzufrieden? Hätten sie ja mal vorher schreiben können. Ganz ehrlich: ich bins auch mit der negativen bewertung.
Ich wünsche Ihnen zukünftig mehr erfolg bei Ebay,
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Silke Morisse

Ms. Morisse,

I'm glad to know you're a girl, and even happyer to hear you're a mechanical engineer who does'nt need Ebay to eat sausages. I must confess that I'm also not a man

- I am in fact a beaver named Frank, and I've got rich in the 80's as an hidraulic systems engineer in a dam called Kahora Bassa. Must confess that part of my success is due to my haircut. No rock star had one like mine in those times, but the main innovation on my job was the use of biodegradable materials. I've patented those as "sticks".

I do not have time enough to discuss with you because right now my country is sinking and I've been called to make a dam in the border with Spain, so that the flood won't break on trough to the other side, yeah. No, really, I have to go. Must urgently see my dentist, because one of my two teeth is getting blue, and my partners at work are starting to make the obvious jokes about it...: "Hey Frank, did you let the bluetooth on?"

See ya!

Take those 50 euros and buy something pretty for yourself.

- Like a multimeter, or any other gadget you engineers are all crazy about.




Dear grilusfalantis,
