Tu-thumbs buys a used paint sprayer from the local paint store. The sprayer had a large sign on it that said "AS IS." The dealer made no promises or statements concerning the performance of the paint sprayer. When Tu-thumbs attempts to spray paint his house, the trigger on the sprayer sticks in the "on" position and before Tu-thumbs can pull the electrical cord to cut the power, paint is sprayed all over his prize Borzoi dog that is scheduled to be shown in a dog show the next day. Tu-thumbs sues the dealership. Who wins?

A. Dealer wins; there were no express warranties, and all implied warranties have been successfully disclaimed.
B. Tu-thumbs wins; he can recover on the basis of express warranties.
C. Tu-thumbs wins; he can recover on the basis of the implied warranty of merchantability because the word "merchantability" was not used in the disclaimer.
D. Dealer wins; even though there were implied warranties, the damage to the dog could not have been foreseen.
