Default Laugh for the day - can you say "Turbo-Encabulator"?

This is a very funny and classic presentation organized by Rockwell
International. Read the introduction before clicking on the video ink below.

Several years ago, Rockwell International decided to get into the heavy duty
transmission business. They were getting ready to tape a first introduction
video, and, as a warm up, the professional narrator began what has become a
legend within the trucking industry. This man should have won an Emmy for
his stellar performance. Now remember this is strictly off the cuff, nothing
is written down. It became the biggest talk in the industry, vs the new
product which they were introducing.

Here's one with poorer video quality, but has the service department's training in the 2nd half:

That's what's used to reduce sinusodial deplaneration.

Actually, my favorite is "...you will be directed to perform a series of tests that will effectively raise the number of billable hours for the service dept. but will perform no other useful function."

I love it. It reminds me of a similar spoof video that Compaq computer produced many years ago. It was about the "Head Pro" computer. It was done by a professional video production company. Never seen it on the net though.

Thanks for posting. A laugh once in a while is a good thing!
