My very first car accident, I rear-ended a septic truck. Fortunately it was empty at the time.
Every word of that makes it sound like I’m making a joke, but I’m not.
However, if you would like a joke, we were near a storage unit facility. The entrance required a code to open. While we were waiting for the police to arrive to make our report, the driver of the septic truck observed that the gate had a sign saying “Do Not Tailgate” and that perhaps I would have done well to listen.
Back to simple facts, at the time I worked at a convenience store. It turned out that the person who delivered Tastykake to our location was friends with the septic truck driver. The Dodge Neon I was driving at the time had done absolutely no damage to the truck so, working through this proxy, I was able to convince the other driver not to show up to our court date. Therefore I was able to escape any legal or financial consequences for my poor driving.
The glasses are within the house.
Where did his glasses go?
Are people not aware of the world around them?

I don’t see an issue with it. There are maybe a few things I would say differently, but every IT job I’ve worked has had poorer language in the documentation, even sometimes the ones we distribute to customers.

Dave Barry posited a very similar theory about black socks, IIRC.

My brother might be coming the other way!
(It is gratifying that if you do a DDG search for this phrase, the top result is a video of someone running a red light.)
I feel this very strongly - I could even have written this comment - but I’d like to mention that Adventure Time is amazing … Two seasons in. Before that, it’s not a good show.
I appreciate both your joke and, most especially, your username.

You know what he says. Just do it.
edit: As an aside, before I started becoming aware of actors and their names, he made me think of a beagle. I kind of thought there might be some overlap in their stories. I’m now pretty confident that I was mistaken.
