Abacissor - Body by Jake , by Bob Miller, author of Angel Named Zabar, Taciturn, Toto Coelo

Dear Jake: I'm retired, and even though I'm able to stay in good shape by walking and playing golf, I cannot do sit-ups and/or crunches. I felt like a fool ordering the Abscissor assuming I would get a piece of junk that didn't work.

It arrived in only seven days. Not bad from California to Florida during the Christmas rush. The box seemed light so I said, "Yep, just a piece a junk." Wrong. To have used stronger material would have been overkill. Good job, Jake.

Looking down at the open box I thought, "Holy cow! No way will I have the tools needed to put this thing together." Oops! Wrong again. Didn't need any of my tools. In a way, Jake, that kind of gripes me. That toolbox of mine is heavy, and I didn't appreciate not needing so much as a screwdriver after lugging the thing up the stairs.

Since I estimated it would take several hours to get it together, I ordered a pizza for Ed and me. I had asked Ed to help since he's got one of those engineering degrees. Again, Jake, I'm not that happy with you. You see, I told Ed that if he helped, he could come over and use it. I don't really like Ed that much, and now he'll be coming over more than before. On top of that, the pizza was a waste of my money since Ed had it together before I was able to get off the phone with my in-law who owns the pizza place. He's always broke and needing money to buy tomatoes. You like tomatoes, Jake? I now hate the damn things.

After getting it together, Ed pops his fat ass on my Abscissor seat and does the recommended workout. He really made my day when he said that he would make a workout schedule for us. After he left, I moved the setting from beginners up to the advance setting, as I don't do that wimp stuff. After a few pulls, I decided Ed had used the proper setting and moved it back. I'm still not that pleased with you, Jake, but have nothing but good things to say about your machine.

"I thoroughly enjoyed it and read it straight through. I could not put it down. I was there during most of his tour and was familiar with a lot of his anecdotes about Blackhawk. My only disappointment was that it ended too soon. Bob is to be commended for the support he gave our Currahees and the very fine literary effort. I shall treasure both." -Dave Beaty 3-506th Infantry Airborne
