Gary has decided that I love my rechargeable electric flyswatter so much that I also need a battery-operated one.
I read the instructions for using the Black and Decker Battery-operated Bug Zapper. (I spend much of my time at work writing instructions, so I often take the time to skim them when they are provided. )
They say:
“There are two main methods for zapping flying insects. First, wait for insect to land on a flat surface and then slowly place the racquet grid over the insect and as it flies up it will enter the grid and get Zapped. Secondly, practice your forehand and backhand swings as you would a fly swatter for flying insects that are not landing. This is slightly more challenging but much more gratifying when you are successful.”

Oh, that is delightful! I love it when instructions are correct and clear, and that is the Point of instructions… but I also love it when they are not totally dry as dust all the way through.
KC – I wonder if there was no QA done on that document. You would think that Black and Decker would not let that level of whimsy pass. I’m glad they did.
That is a marvelous instruction text. I could see myself getting a little vicious with the swatter, though. Happy swatting!

Common Household Mom – The swatting on the lawn in the summer can be vicious. Like vicious badminton.
