"The story goes like this:

Several years ago, Rockwell International decided to get into the heavy duty transmission business. We were getting ready to tape our first introduction video, as a warm up, the professional narrator began what has become a legend within the trucking industry. This man should have won an academy for his stellar performance. Now remember this is strictly off the cuff, nothing is written down, this became the biggest talk in the industry, vs our new product which we were introducing. I think you will enjoy this once in a lifetime performance from this gentleman."

Our instructor at KIA university showed us that when we were talking about all the acronyms and what each manufacturer called each system.

Funny stuff!![ROFL1]

"If you can't blind them with brilliance, baffle them with bullsh*t."

I occasionally resort to this technique when people at work start asking questions that are out of their lane.

Saw a different version of this years ago. I think it's the same script, but I like this guy's delivery better.

Ahh, the old Turboencabulator.

Story is B.S. It was a comedy skit filmed after the real production of a GMC training film and was based on an early series of progressive "joke" papers.

I'm throwing the BS flag. That thing will not work without a dual phase redundancy pile that is articulated by the side thrusting reciprocation hydroencapsulation effect of the pseudo hydraulic piston alignment spring-shim thingy, of which no fewer that six must be used to assure the complete micrometric sealing of the polyhelium comperssion cells.



I tried this once back in 1972 so I know for a fact it will not work the way he has explained it.

I've seen more complicated tax codes. But at least their device says it will do something good in the end.
