(whistles Christmas tune)
(sighs)
Well, you look busy.
Oh. Well. Yes, it’s Christmas, I have lots of orders.
Nice to meet you, I’m Moreley.
Hello Moreley, I’m Wendell.
Oh well, have you ever heard of ShoeTool?
It’s a wonderful machine that eliminates the busywork of running a shoe business.
I’ll take it!
Just one small detail.
To get your license, there is a contract.
It’s industry standard boilerplate, really.
Ah ah ah.
Tinkering with ShoeTool is not permitted... Paragraph twenty-seven, clause forty-two.
Also, red is the only approved color... Paragraph ninety-nine, clause seventy-eight.
And, if you violate any contract terms your license is immediately revoked.
But it’s my machine. I bought it!
You licensed it.
ShoeTool is proprietary, you know!
(tears contract)
Your business won’t survive without ShoeTool!
(evil laugh)
(cheering. machines clattering)
Don’t let your tools tell you how to use them.
