The System 169
Inspired by all the bullshit we have to detect in a day. I asked people through the my Twitter feed for ideas of “What’s a common needless charge? Something that gets thrown on with a car purchase?” Other ideas for the bullshit detector included:
- Stephen: Floor mats
- Marty: Tire rotation
- Chris: Rust coating
- R Stizzle: Extra shiny steering wheel
- Lee: Undercoating and rust value adjustment
- Perry: New tire smell
I do often ask questions such as this on my Twitter feed. Other such questions include “does this make me look fat?” and “does this look infected to you?”. If that’s not reason enough to follow me, I don’t know what is.
If you’re not interested in anything I have to say but still enjoy Twitter, I have another account just for comic updates and the like. Check out @SystemComic on Twitter.

Well, when you get your car washed, they automatically want you to get it waxed and use wax that will actually harm the wax coating on your car. Do you really need your tires rotated every time you have an oil change? Do you really need an oil change every 5,000 miles?
Why do drs. want you to have tests on things that have nothing to do w/whatever your problem is?
Why do people actually read the entire e-mail that starts by telling you there is $3million waiting for you?

You were swindled, my friend!
..you should've gotten the sarcasm dampener upgrade while you were at it!

Wait… Does the realization at the end mean the bullshit detector worked? Paradoxical…
