Yes, I kind of hang out with the INBA folks in Spokane, playing guitar, harmonica, old time and blues. My wife sometimes recycles in Smelterville, stuff we can't get rid of round here. She was a pastor in Pinehurst for a while.

Could get one's own Goldilocks to test the TOO HOT or TOO COLD bit, provided the bears are on holiday.:-)

Grin! Sometimes we all need instructions.

HAR HAR.

I bought a candle at a garage sale yesterday. On the bottom was a tag which read, "1. create fire. 2. apply to wick."

There was an earlier thread once about ridiculous instructions. Like the note on the back of car-windshield sunscreens which say, "Warning: Do not drive with sunscreen in place".

Brad, I think I've met your wife. If she was at the Lutheran Church she performed the funeral services for a friends wife, Wendy Freudenberg.

I remember a really funny explanation of patent law and inventing on an inventors forum, using a cup as an example. I think maybe I wrote it. Oh yeah, I did. If I can find it I'll post it.

   We once had a sleeping bag that came with instructions.

Rangerroger--right church, wrong pastor--an earlier one, Kate LePard.
Fred-- I figured someone else would have come up with something similar--I'd be happy to see it.

We just got a hose nozzle that cautioned us not to spray water into electrical outlets.

Sis! are you reading this? You should post something about why you left trial work.

Tonge-in-cheek aside, I was told by a junk-shop owner that he can no longer sell bycycles as he cannot supply an owners manual! This is in the bastion of the free, clean green New Zealand.

The Bastureaucrats are going to get us all.

In 1994 I took my first trip abroad, to England and Scotland. We visited a little church, hints were dropped that we should buy a beaker to support it. Turns out a beaker is a mug.

Is this the standard term in the UK?

Until the mug came out of its crate, I thought I had solved the enigma of the Beaker People.

Bsondahl: nice mugs.

beakers usually have no handles.
The instructions should accordingly be very different.
The Beaker People did indeed leave beakers.
