"Coffee Maker"

Cousin Elly is the world's worst at getting instructions
mixed up. When she got married her husband
bought her one of those fancy, electric coffee makers.
It had all the latest gadgets on it.

Salesman Riley carefully explained how everything
worked; how to plug it in, set the timer, go back to
bed, and upon rising, the coffee is ready."

A few weeks later Elly was back in the store and Riley
asked her how she liked the coffee maker.

"Wonderful!" she replied, "However, there's one thing
I don't understand. Why do I have to go to bed
every time I want to make a pot of coffee?"
