The Turbo Entabulator
Rockwell International decided to get into the heavy duty automatic transmission business. They were getting ready to tape their first introductory video. As a warm up, the stage crew began what has become a legend within the training industry. This guy is great and he does it all the way through with a straight face. He should have won an academy award for his stellar performance.
Nothing he says is true. And, he had no script!
It is strictly off the cuff, nothing is written down. And it is all totally meaningless drivel made up as he goes along. It was a rehearsal for camera, lighting and stage crew.
I know that many of you may have already seen this video, but it's still good for a smile and a few grins. A friend reminded me of it and after watching it again, I decided to share:

... which is this thread, but note that the title has become the first two lines of the OP.
Strange!

I had just asked if anyone remembered where to find this in a very recent thread in some forum or the other.
I think VPL mentioned the link.
Funny that it has come up again here.

The Turboencabulator has now reached a high level of development, and it's being successfully used in the operation of nover-trunnions. Moreover, whenever a fluorescent score motion is required, it may also be employed in conjunction with a drawn reciprocation dingle arm, to reduce sinusoidal repleneration. It's not cheap, but I'm sure the government will buy it [holds up "$750,000,000" sign].

Evidently 750 million dollars was considered a lot of money back then.

So does this mean I am imagining it or that the Eng-Tips search function is about as useful as it has always been?
