As everyone knows, all electronic devices (Tablets, Phones, Computers, MP3 Players, Routers, Car computers, Watches, DVD players, TVs) have one thing in common - they are powered and operated by tiny magical gremlins. Everyone who works with "technology" knows how to get the gremlins to do their bidding. Thus if you can fix a TV you can fix a car, robotic welder, blender, and debug software. All of these products work on the fundamental principle of "I-don't-get-it". Anyone who understands "I-don't-get-it" can operate and fix anything else powered by "I-don't-get-it". That's why people keep coming into the bike shop and asking me how to fix their motorcycle. It’s the “Magic Technology” phenomenon.

Human logic — something else that should make the list of non-existent items like the tooth fairy, the Easter Bunny, and Santa Claus.

My answer is something like "how can you lump me in with him when we have entirely different style handlebars?". Throws them for a loop. At least I'm getting over my shock and anger at false accusations.
