If you have never seen this video before, here is the first of several versions of this video. It's relatively short and is a good laugh.

Awesome!

In the Boy Scouts, it was the never ending hunt for a left handed smoke shifter.

At the Maritime Academy, it was the famous command to trace the handrail cooling system,

And who wasn't directed to "grease the relative bearing" once or twice?

My congratulations to the inventors of the Turbo Encabulator. You are in good company. Might I refer you to Isaac Asimov's famous doctoral thesis "The Endochronic Properties of Resublimated Thiotimoline", for a concept that might further refine the encabulator.

PS: Hey Angry Scientist Nic, did you ever finish up that drawing of the handrail system?

For humor in a similar vein, check out the kaleco website.

When I was in the Air Force, we used to send people on missions to get a left-handed monkey wrench or a piece of flightline.

First time I saw the turboencabulator I was in tears!

My last job was at Chrysler powertrain engineering. We always directed new hires to this version as part of their training: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXW0bx_Ooq4

Ora, essi saranno sorseggiando un cappuccino e di 3 ora al sacco con il vino.

We used to send people for:

A gallon of propwash.

A box of grid squares.

A pound of muzzle blast.

You all laugh, the company I work for designs and builds these as well the handrail cooling systems and grid squares. We often subcontract with Kaleco.
