 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.
