   So would this be under F for fire, C for combustion or S for we’re screwed?

   It says here we should “bail out”, but I think that’s a typo… I’m pretty sure we should “bale out” since we’re in the UK; what do you think?

   I told the documentation department that we need an emergency quick reference card!

   This is the emergency guide you requested! If the company would spend a little bit on usability engineer, we are in a much better situation than now…Hopefully, this will teach them a lesson.

   The manual says, “…should the product malfunction within the stipulated amount of time after the purchase, they’ll provide you with a replacement, repair, or refund.” Everything’s fine!

   This must be the wrong manual. Under “Fire” it says: Push red button to launch rockets.

    It says here, “In case of fire, throw a bucket of water on it.”

    I’m not sure where to look! This is the first time I’ve tried to open the manual! Who reads this stuff anyway?

    “To save the trees, you’ll be glad to know that this handbook is printed on acid-free, recycled pulp. This handbook has been the standard insert on all our helicopters since Bob’s first, proud single-sourcing summer of 76. Last updated: June 1978.”

    “You’ll be glad to know that the rest of the pages of this book are blank for customer’s notes.”

    There is some problem in the helipad and he tried to correct it by going through his user manual.

    My favorite caption is the one from Murray:
