The Case of the Bowed Window Sill

Earlier this week we had a new window installed in our kitchen in preparation of the remodel we hope to do. The workers seemed to do a good job...but after they left Michele's aunt Diane and Paul's mother both noticed that if you sat in a chair, you could see the window sill was bowed. Paul called up the window installer and they sent a repairman today.

As the repairman was leaving, he noticed Paul signaling to aunt Diane asking if it looked OK to her. The repairman turned around...
Repairman: Is that all right m'am?
aunt Diane: I don't know, is it level? Did you put a level on it?
repairman: .:grunt:.
(he pulls level out of his belt and puts on window and it reads level)
aunt Diane: OK, then thumbs up!
repairman: .:grunt:.
(repairman exits)

Paul's main concern was to not anger the repairman...as he is the same man who comes to measure for the new windows. Since we still have a few more windows to go, Paul doesn't want him to measure smaller than necessary so we have less glass on the windows! D'oh!
