"Some Assembly Required"
Mar 2^nd, 2009 at 6:27pm

Poor Joe. His brother LIED. He bought a new gas BBQ and told Joe there were only a few screws to put the thing together.

After little discussion, we decided to purchase one (Joe's birthday IS coming and I DO hate dealing with charcoal). Well Joe, with his dad as his (helper) have been out there for quite some time putting it together. While I haven't heard ALOT of swearing, I do see some perplexed faces now and then.

His brother LIED! Or, if you look up SOME on webster-merriam.com you will see some: being an unknown, undetermined, or unspecified unit or thing. It should say: ALOT OF SMALL PARTS!!!! Smiley

Usually I don't--on the theory that I don't need no steenkin' directions. It's a bad theory. More often than not, my daughter has to pull my a** out of the fire, and put whatever it is together. I let her. It's for the best. George

Directions are key.. but they have to be read from the beginning, not when something doesn't quite work (I either read 'em or weep). Be careful out there!
