Isn't this all a rip off of Douglas Adams' piece in Mostly Harmless...
...where Arthur Dent realises that he wouldn't even be able to tell a primitive civilisation how a toaster worked. I quote (ok, copy/paste)
"The available worlds looked pretty grim. They had little to offer him because he had little to offer them. He had been extremely chastened to realise that although he originally came from a world which had cars and computers and ballet and armagnac he didn't, by himself, know how any of it worked. He couldn't do it. Left to his own devices he couldn't build a toaster. He could just about make a sandwich and that was it. There was not a lot of demand for his services."
Fuck off back to Mock The Week, eeaaarrrhh, Dara.
