- Ah, yes. We forgot that the sir in question desired a users manual as well.
- These we have plenty of them. Enclosed, please find a Manual to your Life:

- ** Life: User's Manual **
-
- Congratulations upon the purchase of your brand new Life. It is a
- durable item. Rarely have our customers desired a replacement. In any case,
- first we shall cover the general care tips:
-
- (1) Do not let your Life outside the house too often---for it is fragile and
- can shatter easily.
-
- (2) Do not make many radical changes---only our Heavy Duty Life, model 1XXA.7
- can endure such constant shoving. Other Lives shatter.
-
- (3) Permit others into your new Life with care.
-
- Now, we cover usage instructions. Be sure to follow directions
- properly for a Full Life (tm):
-
- (1) Unwrap your new Life and be sure all parts are included. The parts that
- are included with a Standard Life are:
-
- 1 Clue (It's part of Life)
- A decent amount of Fair Chance
- Either a romantic interest or a swinging singles lifestyle
- Some Money
- 1 Job
- A bit of Luck
- Some Self Assuredness
-
- (2) Now be sure to assemble these in the correct order:
-
- Some Self Assuredness
- 1 Clue
- A decent amount of Fair Chance
- A bit of luck
- 1 Job
- Some Money
- Romantic interest or swinging singles lifestyle
-
- (3) Apply generously for 20-30 years. The user will note that Self-
- Assuredness will be used up during this time, and replaced with varying amounts
- of Wisdom and Cynicism depending upon personal usage of the parts.
-
- (4) If used properly, the purchaser should find him/herself with a Full Life
- (tm) within 1 year of applying his/her new Life. Good luck.

- Cynicism is only realism projected into the future.
- If your fondest wish is to fly, don't draw up plans for flippers.
