I've been watching reruns on WGN, and it seems when he has a task he gets it done-and as long as he's not trying to go by one of Dick's how-to manuals:lol:

He'd be good if you needed a wall torn down, just invite David Banner over stand on the other side of the wall and start insulting him.

At least Balki would read the instructions. Witness this gem from the third season classic, "Pipe Dreams": :lol:

[Larry is installing a shower head]
Balki Bartokomous: Where are the instructions?
Larry Appleton: I threw them out.
Balki Bartokomous: You threw them out?
Larry Appleton: Appletons have never used instructions. My dad completely rewired the house in Denver without instructions.
Balki Bartokomous: Isn't that the house that burned to the ground?
[Larry pauses for a second]
Larry Appleton: [sheepishly] They never proved it was the wiring.

Yes, we did - or I did to start this thread. :o :lol:

I'll add the Heck kids from The Middle - Axl would be too lazy, Sue would try TOO hard and get it all wrong, and Brick would be too easily distracted. He'd spot printed words, be it in a book, on a billboard, or on the side of the truck - forget it. :eek: :crazy: :lol:

Frankie and Mike, their parents, would be slightly better. Mike works at the quarry and is used to working with his hands - and Frankie, well, I'd feel safer with her around than her kids. :lol:
