Simple tasks that SHOULD be EASY, but are really Difficult

Are there any other things that sound really easy but in reality are frustratingly difficult.

I say this after spending a good 30mins of my lunch break trying to get a rubber grip onto the handle of a cricket bat.

Sounded easy enough, but between 3 of us, we still havent managed to do it - Beginning to think this is one of the hardest tasks a man can face in his lifetime!!

Mending a flat tyre on a bike - it can take me anything from 30 to 60 minutes yet people in bike shops can do it in about five.

Cutting a roller blind to fit a window. I spent well over an hour trying to get the bloody width right yesterday morning.

Well as some of you know I'm a part-time musician. Last summer I did this afternoon gig in a marquee on a farm; we were just packing up and I was waiting with the instruments for the transport to turn up. One of the instruments was a banjo, and in the field next to us were a herd of cows. "Well," I wondered to myself, "How difficult is it, I mean how diifficult is it really ... to hit a cow's arse with a banjo?"

So in the interests of science I got the banjo out of its case, climbed over the fence and approached a cow. The first one ran away, (ok, wandered away) as I approached, so thinking I was scaring them I stood still for a bit and then I walked very slowly up to another one that has its arse pointing at me. Grabbing the banjo firmly by the neck I swung it towards the bovine posterior.

I'm not sure what happened next. I think the cow must have sensed me because it stepped forward. Also I was a bit scared as I thought it might kick me or turn round and head-butt me so I wasn't 100% committed to the swing. Anyway ... I missed and just sort of brushed its tail. Not wanting to try again i retreated.

So, hitting a cow's arse with a banjo. Not as easy as it sounds.

PS - It wasn't my banjo.

I hope thats a true story - f***ing hilarious. Does the owner of said banjo know what you had planned for his (probably) beloved instrument?
