daily life: nuts about the bolts

You've probably heard of the famed Scottish inventor Tavish McAno, best known as the inventor of Lego in 1762. It's rumoured that he demanded the instructions with every kit be incorrect so as to instill ingenuity and creativity in the young children that wiled away hours constructing planes, trains and automobiles.
So I can only assume that the heirs of the McAno fortune have turned their attention from 10ft Ferris wheels to flat-packed wardrobes and are deliberately including mistakes in the instructions, or perhaps there has been some terrible calamity in the printers and page 3 of the assembly instructions for my new bureau were substituted for the care instruction of Inflatable Ilene, for I'm highly dubious that I was meant to stick my genitalia into the keyhole, and it was frightfully painful trying to get it back out!
