It was the most baffling set of instructions I had ever seen.

.....and it even came with this 'handy tool'..............

They only gave you one Allen wrench for that?

I cannot follow written instructions for things like that. I just look at the finished picture and take it from there.

Of course, if it's the wrong picture, I'm screwed.

I'm hopeless at simple instructions. Both my wives say so, I guess it must be true. Trouble
is I've managed to get through life with women by only listening to half they say, even less
really. So, Judy will issue instructions about something whie I'm doing something important
like watching TV or C-D for instance. She'll say "got that OK?" then go out. When she comes back, I won't have done as I was told. She sat me down a few years ago and asked
"do you listen to anything I say David?" "Course I do kitten, all the important stuff, I can't
fill my mind with trivialities, but I do try" I confessed. Works for me........
