Thank you very much and God bless you.

You have to appreciate that they found a salesman who looks just like The Professor from Gilllgan’s Island.

From the comments section of the video:

I don’t think most people truly grasp the significance of how they’ve fitted the hydrocoptic marzel vanes. When I was still a kid in college, I lost a dear friend of mine in an engineering class when a waneshaft started side fumbling so hard that it lost ambifacence. The spurving bearings couldn’t handle the panometric load and they shattered. Killed him instantly. It’s been over fifty years, and I still have nightmares where I see the stator embedded in his skull, whirring around and leaving semi-boloid patterns carved into his scalp. People love to give Rockwell shit because of the way they couple their tremipipes, but the fact is, their design saves lives. “

Sounds like something the Democrats would invent to count votes!

Retabulate until the "proper" results are achieved!

It’s all fun and games until someone forgets to lubricate the transdifferential bearings on the fart valve inside that Encabulator.

The dialogue reminds me of something I would have heard from a 1960s comedian named Dr. Irwin Corey. Sophisticated gobbletygoop.

The subject: Rockwell reminds me of the early 80’s song
“I Always Feel Like Somebody’s Watching Me!” by Motown one hit wonder Rockwell.

Now I know how a dirty third world savage who doesn’t speak English feels while here. It makes me want to defraud something and shoplift.

All this will soon be replaced by AI, a roomfull of racks reduced to a single tiny little chip.

Ain’t progress wonderful?

We have Elon Musk to thank!

There are a few videos out there dealing with different types of encabulators. You have the Chrysler Turbo Encabulator

The HyperEncabulator

And you even have the Helical Encabulator

I'm pretty sure some of these guys even worked guidance system to allow the Missile to know where it it

Due to its ability to discombobulate, can it be used right now in Minneapolis, Minnesota?

Looks like Chrysler may have committed some corporate espionage. 😎
