Good to know… (Raquel)
Posted by Raquel in All About Words, For Amusement Purposes Only, Raquel I bought a camera case today. Specifically, according to the package it was digital camera case. Apparently it makes a difference. The package also proclaimed that it “holds all digital cameras small enough to fit”. Taking them at their word I purchased the case.
It wasn’t until I got at home that I noticed the inscription, “Unit automatically becomes portable when carried”. Um, yeah. Did I mention I was really worried about that? I mean, how many times have you bought a digital camera case only to realize that carrying it around did not make it portable? And don’t you feel silly lugging around a non-portable camera case at special occasions?
“Well, what have you got there Bob? Didn’t you know that camera case isn’t portable? Hey everyone, did you see Bob? He’s got one of the camera cases that isn’t portable! And he carried to the party anyway! (Bless his heart!)”
I, however, will sleep soundly tonight, secure in the knowledge that my new camera case becomes fully portable when carried. No embarrassing party moments for me. No siree! Wait, what was that? I spilled dip on my shirt? Oh, bother. If you’ll just excuse me a moment while I find a napkin…

Almost a decade ago I purchased a PSOne carry case with an incredible cardboard insert describing the product. In addition to becoming “automatically portable when carried”, it claimed to “fit any and all PSOne accessories that could be successfully placed inside”. It also included step by step instructions (one step) for “how to load your device into the case” (put it in the case). At the bottom of the insert, in fine print, were the words “These instructions suitable for framing.” I held on to it for a while.
