If you've ever been burned by not following directions you will relate to this. And you'll pull your hair out.

At the Missouri Valley tournament this weekend in St. Louis, a guy named Alex Permann had a chance to win $50,000 in an on-court promotion. He had to hit a lay up, a free throw, a 3-pointer, and a half court shot.

He hit all of his shots but he forgot to take the 3-point shot. So he didn't win the money.

I'm telling you right now, follow directions. Whether you're trying to win cash at a basketball game or putting together a bookshelf, follow directions. That is all.
