Sedalia Dave Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 For those that want to understand why the shop rate is so high at the dealer
Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 I think I had one o' them in my '68 Gremlin...
Hurricane Deck 100366 Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 "it's a simple head-code. Anyone can catch it." and "technical manual and song book" I fell out of my chair!!
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 I just called the Chrysler Dealer and scheduled a check up. AND I DON'T EVEN OWN A CHRYSLER. DANG, those guys are good.
Blackwater 53393 Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 Prob'ly designed by Lucas. The Prince of Darkness rears his ugly head again!! Having worked in a Transmission shop, I nearly rolled on the floor for real!! My dad used to make up $hit like this when I was a kid. You'd be amazed at the number of people who would believe and pretend they understood those garbled pseudo-words!!
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 Chrysler Dealer called back and wanted to sell me a new car equipped with one of these, er, those, or what ever they are.... Said I could get between 75 and 80 MPG in a sedan so equipped. Could that be correct?

It is entirely possible for a short period while the car is falling from a high flying airplane, but only if the ignition is turned off!!
Sedalia Dave Posted July 11, 2014 Author Posted July 11, 2014 Now for the history of the Turboencabulator The original technical description of the "turbo-encabulator" was written by British graduate student John Hellins Quick. It was published in 1944 by the British Institution of Electrical Engineers Students’ Quarterly Journal in an article titled "The Turbo-Encabulator in Industry" by "J.H. Quick, Student" I first saw it done by Rockwell Automation many years ago. Their version is geared more towards Electrical engineers but it is just a funny. I am amazed that the person reading all that could keep a straight face. You can read more here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turboencabulator. Down at the bottom of the page are some links to the other video versions. Glad you all liked it.
Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 ... once again, dear friends, we find that a finely-divided, high-velocity spray of coffee makes a dandy screen cleaner ...
Capt. R. Hugh Kidnme Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 I believe the entire main structure is made of "humoratium". Think I split a rib. Very funny post.
Branchwater Jack SASS #88854 Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 Funny. I remember when my father in law and I sent my wife out to get a Hootenator valve to fix the toilet.
Subdeacon Joe Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 I've seen the first half, and variations, before. But I have never seen the part with the tech explaining the billablehours process. Fascinating.
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Funny. I remember when my father in law and I sent my wife out to get a Hootenator valve to fix the toilet. DO NOT EVER send a young Private to the Electrical shop for a box of fallopian tubes. The lady Major over there has no discernible evidence of a sense of humor. NONE!... and she threatens young Second Lieutenants in a most convincing way. BTW, my daughter's business card states that she is a Umbrological Parallax Corollator
