Below is a chat transcript from an actual IM session that took place earlier this morning between Kegerator.com sales representative (John) and a potential customer (Tim).
Tim attempts to rattle John with off the wall scenarios and dark humor. Unfazed, John continues to focus on the matter at hand: how to install a kegerator in Tim’s bathroom shower.
But was it enough to convince Tim to buy?

[08:28:51] John K.: Good morning, this is John
[08:28:56] John K.: How can I help you?
[08:29:04] tim: I like beer.
[08:29:15] John K.: Me too, tim. Me too.
[08:29:18] tim: how do I keep my favorite beer cold sir?
[08:29:44] tim: do you krink beer at work?
[08:29:47] John K.: Well, there are several ways. Are you wanting cans and bottles or a keg.
[08:29:56] John K.: ?
[08:29:59] tim: *drink
[08:30:28] tim: keg
[08:30:37] John K.: Sometimes it happens. It’s hard to justify at 8:30 in the morning though.
[08:31:02] John K.: Well, we’ve got a good selection of kegerators. Are you going to use this mainly inside or out?
[08:31:16] tim: it’s hard to justify…unless it’s the cure for what you did the night before.
[08:32:47] tim: inside. I want to hook up the spout next to my shower head so I can bathe in beer when I’m hungover.
[08:33:50] tim: is that an odd application?
[08:34:15] John K.: Well, with a kegerator you’d get the added benefit of a cold shower.
[08:35:19] John K.: The problem taking the spout that far is you would most likely have lengths of non-refrigerated beer line, causing excesive foam and warm beer, neither which I personally enjoy.
[08:35:42] tim: that’s what I’m looking for. The cold beer on my body to wake me up in the morning… while drinking it as to provide me a smooth jolt of happiness.
[08:36:04] tim: you don’t like head?
[08:36:35] John K.: Generally with beer, no.
[08:37:02] tim: beer? nevermind.
[08:37:30] tim: So what would you suggest I do for my “beer shower” or “golden shower”?
[08:38:40] John K.: Well, for something like that, you’re going to have to concern yourself with a long amount of beer line running outside the machine.
[08:38:44] tim: are you still there John K.?
[08:39:10] tim: yes, go on….
[08:39:42] John K.: If the line is outside of the machine, you run into the issue of non-refrigerated beer line. The trick is finding an aftermarket method of running a refrigerated line all the way up to the shower.
[08:40:26] John K.: The other issue, of course, would be space in the bathroom. Generally bathrooms aren’t the most spacious in the house, and a kegerator would take up a fair amount of space.
[08:40:51] tim: Well I could use the warm beer to clean my a$$hole first, then begin drinking the chilled beer. Do you think that would work?
[08:41:03] John K.: Not saying it’s impossible, but obviously there are some difficulties in setting up a beer shower.
[08:41:11] John K.: That would be a personal preference.
[08:41:16] tim: True
[08:41:38] tim: I have a basement. Could I run the line through there?
[08:42:27] John K.: From the basement up to the bathroom?
[08:42:52] tim: yes
[08:44:01] John K.: Well, again we run into the issue of non-refrigerated beer line, even more so. Plus you’ll need a fair amount of pressure to run the line that far.
[08:44:40] John K.: You’ll probably need a bigger tank than any of these ship with. Maybe all the way up to a 20 lbs.
[08:45:30] tim: Well I think I solved the problem of the warm beer line… I have a slew of dead h___ers in my basement. Do you think their stench/decay will effect the quality of my beer if it is in the same general area?
[08:46:04] John K.: I think we’ve moved outside the realm of relevant conversation.
[08:46:41] tim: I think the quality of my beer is very relevent
[08:46:52] John K.: You have a good one sir.
