I am the grit in the gears, the missing bolt, I am the poker of sticks into spokes. I like to know how things work, but sometimes when I take them apart and rebuild them, I have a few pieces left over. I am a man, so I tend to leave reading the instructions until after it goes wrong. And like all men I have a comprehensive mental map of the world and never need to ask directions. I never get lost, only sometimes I'm late, or end up in the wrong place entirely. It's what we do.

hi soubriquet... this is my fave of the recent ones. maybe if the directions were required to be on these, the banes of my existence with their wackers and blowers wouldn't exist and maybe even when the aliens landed there would be less plump victims out and about
ReplyDeleteI actually think they need a redesign.
ReplyDeletesexier colours, more buttons and levers...
No. In reality, I agree with you. All too often the powered devices are noisy, dangerous, and overall, no faster than just getting a brush, shovel, hoe, or saw out of the garage.
(Hoe: A garden or farm tool used for weeding. This is not Pittsburgh).
Furthermore... If we all used the manual tools, we'd be fit enough to chase those aliens back to their saucers, and send them off home in a a panic.
