I wonder how many takes the actor needed to get this sales pitch right.

When I was in school years ago, an instructor showed this film during the automatic transmissions class. 
It was funny, it was maybe the third or fourth movie in a row and three quarters of the class was asleep.  He started the movie, announced really loud that there would be a test on it, and all of a sudden a number of groggy students were trying to take notes-
I love the smell of diesel smoke in the morning!

This is the machine that the Federal Reserve uses to regulate the banking system in the USA!   :o  I don't know why some people are worried about the economy?                                            Leland
I pray everyday giving thanks that I have one of the "fun" mental disorders!

I showed this video in a meeting filled with upper management  type people. A few caught on but after the video finished one of the Managers asked if this would be a good upgrade to offer with our switchgear installations. The room got really quiet. Then people were rolling on the floor laughing. To this day that manager still hates me.
