| − | [[Cueball]] is | + | [[Cueball]] is apparently running an appliance repair service. Although, he isn't doing much in the repairs aspect, as he is diagnosing problems with the appliances that he himself caused. [[Megan]] and [[White Hat]] (supposedly) call him over to have him fix a {{w|humidifier}} that isn't working. As most repairmen/handymen do, he takes apart the machine to find the root of the problem. However, after this he states the reason it isn't working is because someone took it apart. In this case it was Cueball himself. |
| − | + | What Cueball is doing would be akin to a (really shady) doctor conducting an autopsy on a person who only had the flu and saying the main problem with the person is that they you are dead since there has been an autopsy performed on the person. | |
| − | + | It may refer to services that refuse to repair appliances that show signs of tampering. Cueball may have noticed that the someone else took apart the humidifier and refuses to go further. It may be because this is a warranty repair and he discovered a broken tamper-evident seal. | |

| + | In the title text is is mentioned that Cueball is holding up a three-phase motor that he has taken from the humidifier. He states that it is the humidifier that is broken but more likely he actually found the problem, and is holding it (the problem, not the humidifier,) up without even knowing it. This is because three-phase motors won't work on residential power. Residential humidifiers use {{w|Single-phase_electric_power|single-phase voltage}}, while three-phase equipment uses {{w|Three-phase_electric_power|three-phase voltage}}. | ||

| + | It is possible that [[Randall]] has tried to have an appliance repaired and he has found out that the repairmen do not have a clue about the job. | ||
