My IKEA catalog is in Chinese. How did I not notice this before?
I picked it up last time I was in the store. I saw it today, and thought, 'I haven't looked through it yet.' When I got home tonight, I grabbed it, opened it and began to read. I didn't get very far - I could read the 'Swedish' names and the prices but not the descriptions.

BTW, there is Chinese writing on the cover that I completely overlooked.

2. Well, if IKEA instructions are completely wordless,...
Crap, I can't think of a punchline.




And I still haven't written my proposal.

3. Not instructions
the catalog. You know, the thing that describes all their products.
