Some Assembly Required
Hey s'up Joe? You bring the beer?
Yup, I'll set it here within our reach.
You know, we've been at this a year..
I see you got that last part complete.
This book sure was a nice find, Bill.
Yeah, though I'm not sure about these kits.
What ya mean?. Hand me that wrench...
This section gotta be sterile; put on yer mitts.
Okay..use the forceps, it's tricky..don't flinch.
Alright..install..hardware and secure into ..main assembly...
How?! ...What?!... You gotta be a liar!
Now, ya made me nervous, my hands are all trembly.
Huh! Yup. Says right there..use bailing wire!
This is critical,.. gimme the pliers.
Okay, it says to install this thing over here.
Install it?! ..I cant even pronounce it!
But I'll try it... Hand me another beer.
Now solder the what to the who?
That thing-ama-gig to the whatzit rod?
Oh I get it .It all makes sense now,.. I think.
Then this gets installed into the Pod.
Flap A goes into center slot C,
Oh now it's comin' together!
That's so tab B can slip on into slot D!!
High fives! Let's grab another brew!
'Nother four cases or so and I'll be waivin' by by!
Yep, hook that whatyacallit to the computer and Presto!
And then, Buddy, you'll be flying high!
What you thinkin' on? Why you drinkin' so slow?
Well, ..do your neighbors still think this is a Silo?
Ah don't worry,.. they're just a couple of rummies,
or else. ..they would have kept this book, Joe!....
On "How To Build a Spaceship For Dummies"!
