>To unsubscribe from this group you must first purchase a Craft-O-Matic
>Adjustable Subscription Cancellation Unit. The unit can be obtained from
>most hardware stores and dental clinics. Be sure to obtain the proper
>permits to operate the unit from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the
>Food and Drug Administration in Washington D.C. USA.
>
>Be sure to unpack the kit carefully and place each component in its
>accompanying mesh safety bag. Mount the Pershing DF4 mesinator on top of
>the perforated Gerring Mach 77 refibulator and attach them using the
>eight-millimeter torque fork. Be sure that the refibulator is mounted at a
>66-degree angle and properly dispersed so that it is flush with the curved
>section of the Pyrex thistle tube. Place the four sections of the
>triangular separation gear into the posture cylinder and lock them into
>place using the band-aid adhesive strip. Insert the wiggling pin into the
>wobbling hole, making sure that it seated correctly. Place the D cell
>battery and the eleven 9 volt batteries in the power chamber.
>
>The device should be calibrated before operation using the optional
>digital corkscrew accessory pack prior to operation. Insert the digital
>corkscrew through the electronic combustion service chamber using caution
>not to touch the reinforced tungsten igniter control module and quickly
>turn the inverter drive to 28.6 degrees. Turn the Craft-O-Matic Adjustable
>Subscription Cancellation Unit upside down and hit the bottom plate with a
>48-ounce ball-peen hammer while shaking the unit vigorously. Force open
>the door to the incineration valve compartment and set the pressure gauge
>to 719 psi. Close the door and seal it shut with duct tape. The unit
>should now be properly calibrated and ready to use.
>
>Before activating the Craft-O-Matic Adjustable Subscription Cancellation
>Unit, you must first elevate it to a height of 229 feet above sea level to
>insure that the unit receives the proper oxygen level and barometric
>pressure. Point the aerial to 17 degrees north by northeast to within the
>parameters of the Telstar GS-2 weather satellite and apply pressure to the
>wing shaft on the southern most section of the modular accelerator. Using
>the special ratchet adapter supplied with the unit, rotate the heater core
>to the "on" position. The "on" position has been obtained when the green
>light begins to flash, signifying that the red light is about to go off.
>Once the red light is off, flip the toggle switch labeled "ON/OFF" to the
>"ON" position and count to 47 before logging on to the system.
>
>Logon using your username and password and wait for the prompt. Once
>prompted you must check the box with the appropriate action you wish to
>take and then press the pressure release button and turn off the
>compressor while turning the hand crank at 231 meters per minute. Next,
>press control, alt, delete, caps lock, shift, number lock, escape and tab
>simultaneously. Press enter.
>
>You will have one second to complete the procedure. If you fail to respond
>in the time limit allowed, simply purchase a new Craft-O-Matic Adjustable
>Subscription Cancellation Unit and start from the beginning.
