Warning: Use Slinkys Properly

Slinky warnings and instructionsThis warning for a Slinky is mildly amusing because Slinkys just don’t seem very dangerous, but it’s the instructions that crack me up.

First, the warning:

CAUTION: Do not use in moving vehicle. Do not throw coils out any window. Keep Slinky away from face and eyes.

Now the instructions, and pay attention because they are complicated:

TO BOUNCE SLINKY UP AND DOWN: Hold a few coils tightly in one hand, allowing rest of Slinky to hang down. Now in a bouncing motion, move hand slowly up and down.

So that’s how you do it.  I never could figure that out.  I was always holding it up. Duh.
