Ever wonder whether anybody could be so dumb as to require instructions telling them how to play with a Slinky (a children's toy consisting of a large flexible spring)? Well, in case you were wondering HERE are the instructions that come with one:
TO PLAY WITH SLINKY IN HANDS
Hold end coils of Slinky with both hands. Now raise and lower each hand in a rhythmic motion.
TO BOUNCE SLINKY UP AND DOWN
Hold a few coils lightly in one hand, allowing rest of Slinky to hang down. Now in a bouncing motion, move hand slowly up and down.
TO WALK SLINKY DOWN INCLINE OR SLOPE
Any board or table top with a non-slip surface will do. Slope surface so rise equals about 1 foot for every 4 foot length. Place Slinky at top, flip and watch Slinky start down, end over end.
