A: It's a journey of a thousand pinches of bureaucratic red tape. Join us, and discover the thrill of making your toaster fit into a standardized hole!
A: So we can all be the same, like identical Lego bricks. It's for the sake of uniformity, conformity, and conformity's cousin, uniformity's friend, uniformity's brother, uniformity's sister, and uniformity's aunt.
A: Ah, those? Those are just minor deviations from the standard. We'll have a team of highly trained, highly paid, highly overworked engineers rework your toaster's design to fit the standard. Don't worry, it'll be worth it. Your toaster will be so standard.
A: Ha! You want to join the dark side. We have a special "Standardize or Be Standardized" program just for you. Just sign up, and our team will... "encourage" you to standardize your products. Don't worry, it's for the greater good.
A: Oh no, you can't. You're already in. But don't worry, it's not so bad. You might even... "enjoy" it. There's even an opt-out tour de force for non-conformists like you: Standardization Tour de Force Opt-Out. Try it, it's fun!
A: Warranty? Ha! You think you have a warranty? You should have read the fine print. But don't worry, our team will restandardize your warranty to fit the standard. It'll be... interesting.
