Local self-declared handyman James Davidson has been offered a job as a Boeing engineer after his amazing work attempting to put a flat-pack cupboard together and just assuming that the many left over parts are just the extra pieces they add sometimes.

      That’s what I thought til I was pittig together some cheap Chinese bookshelf. So cheap and generic that it came in a cardboard box with BOOKSHELF written on it in arial bold.

      That fucker came with an extra backstop and 2 more shelves than could reasonably fit in the unit. Were they extras in case something happened? Were they just a mistake from an overworked Chinese sweatshop person? The world may never know

        Don’t forget to pat it gently after it’s glued together to give it the extra kick it needs to stay solid.

        Works every time.
