I think what I enjoy most, however, is the after-the-fact realization that the desired action here just wasn’t quite explicit enough.

The text at the bottom reads: “If you would like a lesson in telling the difference between the machine being on or not, please see reception.” ) Now that’s a Power Point presentation I’d love to see.
