When "everything you need" isn't

At Christmas, my wife and I unwrapped one gift to find a large box with a picture of pizza.

"Gourmet Pizza Made Easy," it said.  "Everything You Need for Homemade Pizza in Minutes."

Everything you need! Wow! I could hardly wait.

So what did the box contain? A pizza cutter, a pizza paddle, a pizza stone, and a recipe book.

"Everything you need?" Sure – except little things like dough, sauce, cheese and toppings.

And even if it had those things, this would hardly be pizza "made easy."  The package contains a long set of instructions about what you have to do just to prepare the pizza stone.
