Outlets! We got outlets! Get your outlets here!

What? Is that not enough? Here, have some more.

A local informant — wait, I’m a local informant — well, a different local informant informs me that the kitchen has 28 outlets. One for the coffee maker, one for the coffee grinder, one for the toaster, and 25 for… for… for the floor polishing machines you and your family can ride around on! Whee!

But wait! What’s that out back? Ohhh… it’s Chair’s own little bit of Eden. Let’s tiptoe away and leave them in peace.

Loveliest comment, by PepperjackCandy: My ex was always putting furniture in front of the outlets. And I was always complaining about it. This looks like they had a similar situation, only the husband had the know-how to say, “You don’t like that desk in front of the outlet? How about an outlet HERE! And HERE! And HERE!”

Living in an airplane might sound a bit unpleasant, especially if you have the same fear of plane crashes that I do and would be living in a constant state of panic. But I refer you to this Q&A from the company’s website:

Why use a Boeing 727 as a home?

The structure is built to carry up to 173 people at over 600 mph and in temperatures of -70 degrees F.

Good point! Can you say the same thing about your house? Mine holds perhaps 100 people comfortably, and the shingles start to peel off every time I take this baby past 300 MPH.

Loveliest comment, by JMixx: Because the whole plane can rotate, the entry staircase is in two pieces; the lower one, secured to the ground, and the upper one, secured to the plane. To get in, the two would have to be aligned. It might take a little practice with your joystick to get it right, but, once you do, imagine the fun you can have with door-to-door salesmen!
“Ha ha! Knock on my door NOW, you pests!”
or
*bzzzzzt* (plane rotates, staircases align)
“Okay, come on up!”
*step step step*
*bzzt*
*thud*
“Okay, no, I’ll be serious. Try again.”
*bzzt*

Loveliest comment, by Jano: Pay for it with the extra money you make broadcasting the traffic report–direct from your shower.
