    I like that type of straightforward style in a manual.

    Absolutely!
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Did you buy that from Adam and Eve.com? Does it need batteries? What size? Can you use it with fuzzy handcuffs? Does dry arid weather cause the bearings to fall out quicker? Will a standard cardboard box work or does it need a more specialized receiver? Looking for this years Christmas presents. Never too early to buy for the ones you love.
