The IKEA Scout

We moved! We unpacked (65% of the boxes!) and I have become IKEA's Chief Assembler!

As I was assembling I realised that there is no need for any language to pass on the message of what to do or what not to do. IKEA manuals have mastered the ancient art of hieroglyphic reference...

For example, take the IKEA Law:


The first cartoon definitely says Be Prepared!

With the Scouts Law in mind:
  1. A Scout is to be trusted.
  2. A Scout is loyal.
  3. A Scout is friendly and considerate.
  4. A Scout belongs to the worldwide family of Scouts.
  5. A Scout has courage in all difficulties.
  6. A Scout makes good use of time and is careful of possessions and property.
  7. A Scout has self-respect and respect for others.
Can you see it? It's all there!

Next to translate B.P's Scouting for Boys in IKEA manual hieroglyphics...
