Barry Bailey reports that in his hometown of Sheridan,
Arkansas, there is a filling station which maintains a full-time
mechanic. There is a sign that lists its rates. It costs $14.50
per hour to have them work on your car. If you watch, it costs
$16.50; if you help, it costs $18.50. And, if you worked on it
before you brought it in to them, it costs $21.50.

Have you ever tried to put together a two-story pasteboard
dollhouse on Christmas Eve? I had kept putting it off with the
excuse that our two girls might see it before they should. So, I
was working away into the wee hours as Christmas dawned. Nothing
seemed to work out just right. It looked easy.

Then, when I was looking down in the carton it came in for
what I thought was a missing piece, I found a small white card
with these words printed on it, "If all else fails, follow the
directions."
