dim-witted and obtuse, coners can often be found in groups wondering why one piece of equipment or another doesn't appear to be working with the on/off switch positioned downward. A common belief amongst coners is that anything can be fixed by some combination of duct

hammer, including but not limited to televisions, computers, 8mm videocasettes, diesel engines, and toilet seats.
