Two years ago I invested $9.99 in that Handy Stitch gadget, As Seen on TV. It worked for a few threads and decided to crap out on me. I intended to return it to Bed Bath and Beyond for another one, thinking I had a lemon. Well, today, I felt wiser. Looking back at that moment, two years ago when I purchased this machine, I thought I was ready for a rematch. I mean, it’s been some time and my wit is more cunning, I am much wiser, and I have more patience. Why not take on this savage beast?
So I spent more than half an hour trying to get this piece of crap to work. I refuse to believe that my wit and wisdom have fallen victim to that As Seen on TV trash. I am wittier. I am wiser, and though my patience probably hasn’t grown much, the As Seen on TV Handy Stitch is a piece of a trash and the networks that aired the commercial, the guy who invented it (women are far too smart and humane to contribute that kind of crap to society) and the people on the commercials are conniving jerks.
