Well, yeah, but that's kind of my point. It's not that
I expected him to know how to drill a well, it's that I expected
him to know that, pretty much anything the army asks you to do,
there's a FM for it. If you've got access to
alt.home.repair, you've probably got access to
http://www.adtdl.army.mil/
Somewhere in there, they've probably got directions
for how to take a shower, as well as six different
ways to build one.
