The bigger the purchase, the bigger the screen. Plane tickets are fine on a laptop, but if you’re buying a car, you need a desktop PC. A house requires a Jumbotron.

Nah, buying a house just needs three monitors.

I need to use my current screen to buy a bigger screen so I can make a really big purchase

Are people buying houses off a website?

You can sign the paperwork on a computer, yes. Sometimes.

I prefer to imagine that people are putting a house in a shopping cart and trying to apply a discount voucher.

Imagine doing that and they forgot to remove the TEST50 promo code 💀

I used DocuSign for the closing paperwork for my house. I absolutely did it from my phone.

Usually I understand why people would say this. I'm very drunk and somewhat Texan. However, I'm baffled by this one.

Do only drunks sign closing paperwork using DocuSign? Is that a Texas thing I don't know about? Is it just the yee haw attitude of the whole thing?

You use to be able to buy one thought a sears catalog.

Nah a jumbotron is too low res, what you should be doing is adding more monitors.
