Overboard by Chip Dunham for January 10, 2011

Just fitting a square peg into a round can.

And once again, Nate speaks for a whole nation of frustrated assemblers…

And the instructions were in Chinese!

Good morning Crew!

And it ends up where all needs-to-be-assembled toys end up.

Good Morning, Crew!

Good Morning Crew,

Probably missing peices, that how the Chinese get you..

Have a GREAT DAY MATIE’S

I see Nate hasn’t tried to do what my roommate and I did … install an Ikea Kitchen with our sanity intact!!!

The counter’s tops are 2-3 times thicker then normal, thus, they require ‘special’ sinks and special taps because of the length. Levelling the censored thing is like trying to get a politician to be level with you about taxes.

Mornin’ Crew! have a great day!

Isn’t that the problem with congress? Some assembly required, but the parts don’t always fit together…

You gave up too easy Nate!

Good Morning, Crew!

Some ASSembly required by some disASSembled designer on ASSikstan!

I wonder if the Chinese get there instructions in English

A person could make a living assembling toys and bar-b-ques.

Several Christmases past 2 brothers and their brother-in-law bought their father/father-in-law a gas grill “un-assembled”. Instructions were in Chinese but there were pictures and diagrams so they muddled through and took about 4 hours to fully assemble and test. At which point one of the kids walked up and flipped the instruction sheet over. And there were the* English* instructions!

I certainly understand, Nate.

Ha–great story, Yakety Sax.

I would’ve done the same thing, being the instructions are in either Chinese or Japanese.

one of the funniest ones yet. that is hilarious! yep, just finished with it. sorry nate.

see you tomorrow. go ducks, beat auburn.

Wish Cam Newton good luck with “Break a Leg!”, lgeezy?
