That is one of those instructions that are so much easier to write than to carry out. 'Just pop the pill down the cat's throat' is another one.
The Housewife's Handbook,
Rachel Simhon
"Insert Tab A into Slot B."
"Where's Slot B?"
"Is that it?"
"That's the housing for fixing G."
"How about that?"
"That's where you put in the backing, I think."
"What's this?"
"I think it's Panel D."
"What do we need Panel D for?"
"I think
it's to rest Housing M on."
"I think we have too many screws."
"I think you've counted them wrong. See, this size is Screw R and this size is
Screw S."
"Why do we need different sized screws?"
"Because this was designed in Hell. Next time we need furniture we are getting
ready assembled."
Hee hee...you know, I think I bought this piece of furniture last year. Still can't make out whether it's a chair or a desk... I love this take on the prompt!
ReplyDeletefun read.
ReplyDeleteFunny and so true to life. I wonder if Screwtape now has a department writing furniture assembly instructions.
