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.
