This cracks me up. Charles bought a piece of powdered dog poop (and in
doing so, probably paid more than if he'd gone to MallWart) and because
it was totally lacking in capability, he decrees than this must be the
way all computers are being sold everywhere. I guess he doesn't want to
admit that the sales-droids at CompUSA made a fool of him again.

"If you buy dog poop, buy the freeze-dried version - you can do so much
more with it."

How about "Best Computers Inc. don't sell Emachines" - or -
"Emachines are perfect examples of what is not the best computers"
