Maybe people ought to consider making the spare parts before the
machine breaks and they can't make those parts. You can do it in your

The question arises.."which" spare part? Taken to the logical
extreme, one should have at least 1 spare and complete lathe, and then
a spare lathe for the spare lathe, and a spare lathe for the spare
lathe, for the lathe....

Yes, and your point...? :-) I'm sure as a machine broker, you would
not mind providing these second machines, eh no? For a reasonable fee,
it's not like I'm against people making a profit.

All you need to do is figure out which parts are going to break first,
and make the replacement part before they do.
Then in your afternoons, you can figure out the economic forecasts and
which stocks to buy or sell. Evenings you're free to do what you want.
And in your spare time, no doubt you can figure out the answer tot he
question: what do women want.
On second thought, lets go back to figuring out which part is going to
break first and making the replacement before it does.
