mockerin: I will now try to illustrate male logic of a typical confirmed bachelor.
So...why do "I" prefer a washing machine to a wife?
We all live in a material world and counting money builds up to an essential part of our living strategy. So let us count all the expences.
Obtaining
Washing machine (hereon Wm): purchase: $600
Wife (hereon Wf) : wedding: appr. $5000
Support:
Wm: electricity and water bills $15/month = $180/year = $1800/10 years
Wf: clothing, fitness, make-up etc. : appr. whatever you have
Operating life:
Wm: up to 10 year, followed by a purchase of a brand-new up-to-date high-tech Wm
Wf: I'll hardly live for so long. Little chance of permit to obtain a new version.
Let us now switch to some other relevant features.
Noise intensity:Wm: 50 up to 80 dB
Wf: unlimited
Warranty period:Wm: up to 3 years, replacement or refund within 10 days upon purchase
Wf: none, no refunds available
Delayed start mode
Wm: up to 19 hours
Wf: none
Weight:
Wm: appr.60kg
Wf: unstable, with a tendency to increase
Interface/usability:
Wm: highly user-friendly, depends on the price
Wf: unstable, with a tendency to decrease
Feel free to continue:)
Хочу добавить про шум: стиралка жужжит в основном тогда, когда её включают. А жена жужжит, когда ей хочется. По-моему, существенный недостаток жены.
