Gary was a proud woodworker—meticulous, dedicated, and maybe a little too ambitious. One day, he decided he was finally ready to build the ultimate chair. Not just any chair, but a throne of unrivaled comfort and craftsmanship. The plan? A sleek design with elegant curves and perfect joints. The reality? Well, let’s just say… there were some technical difficulties.
First, Gary miscalculated his measurements. The legs were uneven, which he only discovered after sitting in it and sliding sideways onto the floor. No problem! He adjusted, trimmed, and then accidentally overcompensated, creating the world's first "slouch chair"—a piece of furniture that encouraged immediate and uncontrollable lounging.
Still determined, he tried adding armrests but misread the blueprint and mounted them directly in front of the seat. Sitting down meant your arms were permanently locked in place, like some kind of medieval restraint.
The final straw? His masterpiece was too wide to fit through the workshop door. After an intense battle involving strategic tilting, sweating, and one minor existential crisis, Gary eventually decided the best course of action was to turn it into firewood and never speak of it again.
And thus, the world remained one throne short.
But Gary gained an invaluable lesson: Measure twice. Then measure again. Then maybe just seek the help of a friendly club member.
