Considering All Those Parents Who Will Be Up Assembling Stuff at 1 AM on Christmas Day, This IS Relevant to the Season:
We were having a discussion on Thursday afternoon about how to hang some lights for our upcoming Christmas party at work, and we couldn't come up with a solution. So I told the circulation manager and her chief elf that I would consult with the Man, only I referred to him as:
"Wiley Coyote, Super Genius"
Needless to say, we are big time Warner Brothers fans at my house. If I'd had my way, the girls would never have encountered most of the Disney pantheon!
And I managed it pretty well, until JR's princess tendencies manifested, darn it! But I digress.....
The circ manager and chief elf cracked up, and we began discussing one of the immortal questions: why did Wiley keep using those durn Acme products when they never seemed to work?
And I think I've come up with the answer. They DID work.
He just never read the directions!
Remember the time he tried to feed the Road Running "Acme Earthquake Pills", cleverly disguised as "Free Birdseed"?
Nothing happened, so he took a pill himself. Nothing still, so he swallowed the whole lot.
And it was only as he threw the bottle away that he saw the warning on the label:
I think a lot of wives out there will get my point. Perhaps some of the husbands too, but my bet is that this is pretty much a guy thing.
As in many other things, the Man is a shining exception to this generality. He DOES read the directions.
And I know he'll come up with a way to hang those durned lights.....................
