Steely Dan Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Borrowing from Deano's sig; "Stupidity is a renewable resource." Phil Smith I just bought a new computer chair that measures 31/2' high and approx. 2ft. across. The box it comes in is 21/2ft. long by 2ft. wide and a depth of 11/6ft. They have a floor model of the chair right there!! On the outside of the box it says; "Some Assembly Required" Is there anyone, besides Deerball, who couldn't automatically figure that out? There has to be because otherwise they wouldn't put it on there. Aye Yi Yi!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under those circumstances, I suppose some might assume it is assembled and folds open and closed. But it is also likely those people are stupid.

The Poojer Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 au contraire mon frere....people are actually smart enough to play the system....you know damn well that some numbnuts would buy it then sue the company, manufacturer...etc...etc....because it did not come fully assembled and ready to use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dean Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Your girlfriend said this to me recently The only thing wrong with that zinger, is it assumes Steely has a girlfriend. What are the chances of that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dean Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I humbly stand corrected for my failure to take into account all known or easily postulated information Still a good comeback, but I might have gone with "your mother". Of course, that might be pretty much the same thing as "girlfriend" to Steely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBud Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I'm a project manager / engineer involved in product development. You would not believe the warnings and cautions that we have to place on the unit, in manuals, on packaging just to CYA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those three little words are likely the result of a class action lawsuit that nearly put the manufacturer out of business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim in Anchorage Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 This is not new. The Sears catalogs of the 60's would show a gun cabinet full of guns and say in small print"guns not included with cabinet". Really? For $19.95 I don't get the cabinet and 12 guns?
