Hey Loopers

Here's some info a friend sent to me that I found (painfully) accurate
and
most familiar! It is from a Lamborgini list but applies to Loops as
well.

6)THE LAW OF CRYPTIC INSTRUCTIONS
"Any official publications dealing with repair, maintenance or
operations of an Italian sports car, shall be written such that every
fourth word is incomprehensible to the average American. In the event
that a random sentence is understandable, its information shall be
wrong." This is also known as flat-tire English, where a sentence
flows along nicely, then-Kaboom!
Reminds me of the exploded view of the Del Orto carbs in the repair
manual. Square slides are pictured in reverse!!!!!!
