do not grip it too firmly as this could lead to paper cuts which in turn lead to dropping the form which in turn leads to stepping on it. but grip it FIRMLY!
Do I detect an intentional reference to these semi-classic instructions to a robot? "Seize the bar with a firm grip. Pull it toward you firmly. Firmly! Maintain your hold until the control board informs you that you have passed through hyperspace twice." But, oops, it doesn't work. "Risk", by Isaac Asimov, in THE REST OF THE ROBOTS, and THE COMPLETE ROBOT, mainly.

I think I also detect a reference to the Weird Al song "Albuquerque".
