Lights, Camera, Inaction

I typically read owner's manuals. I find that some of these technical documents can be informative (for example, ABS light + Passenger Airbag Light + Brake Light = complete electronic failure) and quite entertaining (see previous parenthetical). Little nuggets like this formula when coupled with "the car alarm will buzz 90 times before it stops" when one does not don their safety belt can make someone the life of the party. Well, perhaps that is true only in this town where "are you an engineer?" has replaced "do you play guitar?" Regardless, I appreciate a technical writer with a sense of humor almost as much as I do one with a sense of style.
