Is Joe on Steroids?

RECEIVED Tue., Sept. 25, 2007

Dear Editor,
    Airco Joe knows nothing about the Kill-a-Watt program.
    Recently, I actually paid attention to the local Airco commercial on TV. Instead of letting the gleeful jingle just pass through my ears, I watched the commercial where Airco Joe knocks on the front door (not the back door, mind you, wink) and an overheated housewife answers to let Joe do his magic. First of all, I don’t know if Airco periodically does random urine tests, but they should drop a bottle on Joe to fill. The guy has to be using steroids! He was able to lift a whole air-conditioning unit onto his shoulder without even a grunt. Once he gets everything in working order, he turns the thermostat down to 67! Holy crap! I don’t know about you but that is cold enough to make my nipples stand at attention. Heck, I feel guilty turning the AC down to 78.
