Sounds like a lot of them are expired and being dragged out of storehouses somewhere.

Are they nonfunctional?
If so WTF is he shipping them?

But they usually last well after expiration so they should be ok, unless they're from 2000.

(41,760 posts)7. That's what I thought - can they be remanufactured?
Or do you just throw a bad one out and grab another?
Polybius
(15,507 posts)9. They probably can be, or you might be able to rig one yourself
Expired is still better than nothing, throwing them away is not a good idea.

does with all his other lies.

(42,641 posts)5. "Soon" is a relative term.
Perhaps he meant soon in a geologic sense.

(6,682 posts)8. "It'll be a couple of weeks" just like Melania's press conference
about how she got into the country.
Just like all his other promises...in a couple of weeks, well see what happens blah blah lie lie.
