Visual instructions

Now I’m all in favour of easily understood instructions that can be read by speakers of any language or none, but when I got stranded in Fort St. John, I tried to make coffee by following the pictures on the lid, and the results were unsatisfactory. Here’s what I thought the pictures said:

1. Open the coffee.

2. Place the pillow in the vegetable crisper and close it.

3. With the greens of a large carrot, stir the water. Then pour it down the storm drain.

4. Turn the switch to “ON.” Pour the coffee. Enjoy!
