I was offered a good deal on a wife today
on: January 05, 2022, 02:30:13 AM
We're looking for a new car these day, and we're a bit torn between a new car or a 1-3 year old nice used one.

So I talk to this car salesman over the phone and we fairly soon conclude that there is no deal to be made on the car I was interested in. That might have been it, but as I have the opportunity to have someone laugh at horribly flat jokes I drop in one or two. (Salesmen laugh the best at flat jokes. I find that way funnier than the actual jokes  >:D )

Then it gets weirdish:

(Salesman): I have a wife I can give you good deal on.
(Me, thinking it is a joke): Is she is good looking, in mint condition and with low mileage?
(Salesman): Yes, she is great. I can't guarantee satisfaction but I think you'll be happy with her.
(Me, more confused): Eh... Thank you, but I already have one I'm happy with. 
(Salesman):  No problem, we can do a trade.
(Me, braincells scrambled):  I don't want to trade for anything.
(Salesman): That is ok, maybe just get another one for more daily options?
(Me): I don't think my wife would be ok with that.
(Salesman): Well, come on by with your wife and maybe she likes her too?
(Me, lost for words): Eh?
(Salesman): She is a really popular korean model with our customers.
(Me, brain dead): She is a model from Korea?
(Salesman): Yes, from Hyundai which is from Korea.
(Me, braincell doing something): Your wife is a car?
(Salesman): Yes, the Hyundai Kona...
(Me):  :facepalm:  :facepalm:  :facepalm: ("Kona" means "the wife" or refer to "my wife" in Norwegian).

I'm still not sure if that was accidental, or if that salesman is some kind of evil genius taking his revenge for making him laugh at flat jokes.  :think:  :dunno:

It's worse in portuguese. It translates into something this forum would turn into smurf. Like in wrissmurfch.

Language meanings getting crossed is funny: For those who don't know Hell is in Norway, and yes, it does freeze over every winter.

Quite a few tourists take a detour to get their directions sorted out at the local Hell Gods Expedition. It is kind of unassuming, but maybe not much Godly traffic from Hell? You could also get a snack from the nearby Hell Grill and Barbeque, but I'm not sure if that is still around.

For some reason they didn't choose to name the local airport Hell airport. Go figure.  :dunno:

Interesting. But no inhabitants? Surely that can't be Hell? :think:

Makes sense with some distribution and branch offices I guess? Like supermarkets and shopping malls and so on.

(Salesman): Yes, she is great. I can't guarantee satisfaction but I think you'll be happy with her.
(Me, more confused): Eh... Thank you, but I already have one I'm happy with. 
(Salesman):  No problem, we can do a trade.
(Me, braincells scrambled):  I don't want to trade for anything.
(Salesman): That is ok, maybe just get another one for more daily options?
(Me): I don't think my wife would be ok with that.
(Salesman): Well, come on by with your wife and maybe she likes her too?
(Me, lost for words): Eh?
(Salesman): She is a really popular korean model with our customers.
(Me, brain dead): She is a model from Korea?
(Salesman): Yes, from Hyundai which is from Korea.
(Me, braincell doing something): Your wife is a car?
(Salesman): Yes, the Hyundai Kona...
(Me):  :facepalm:  :facepalm:  :facepalm: ("Kona" means "the wife" or refer to "my wife" in Norwegian).

I'm still not sure if that was accidental, or if that salesman is some kind of evil genius taking his revenge for making him laugh at flat jokes.  :think:  :dunno:

You should have asked him his wife had all original equipment, or if parts have been replaced.

What can I say? I'm a bad car buyer.. :cheers: Should have asked if she was high maintenance too I guess.

Anyway, that conversation is far up there among my weird ones.
