I agree. That's hilarious. I found it really fun to follow your problem solving process. It's funny how you get started with a good idea and things don't work out initially, but your inertia is such that you don't want to go back and re-think it. I guess the end justifies the means. You get bonus points for creativity and resourcefulness.
