I just bought a new jigsaw. One of the things I do here, as I coast into my ‘golden years’ is, I actually read the operator’s manual – once I find the English section! ‘Wisdom’ they call it, I think…
The 3rd paragraph of the operator’s manual is entitled, “Use For Intended Purpose.” Now, why do I have to read this shit? I just want to know how to “operate” the tool – I know “why” I bought it! Then I thought “lawyers!” Fucking lawyers!
Once my blood pressure came back into “normal limits,” I began to wonder, “What else would anyone use this jigsaw for?” Maybe an anchor for a fishing boat? Nah. How about as a training device, working up to the Hammer Throw event in the Summer Olympics? Nope. Damned if I know – but somebody, at one time or another, must have used one of these for something other than for cutting wood. It just boggles the mind at times…
“Use for Intended Purpose” – amazing…
