Entabulator

[Bogie Shooter]

Many, many, many years ago Rockwell International decided to get into the heavy duty

automatic transmission business. They were getting ready to tape their first

introductory video. As a warm up, the stage crew began what has become a legend

within the training industry. This man should have won an academy award for his

stellar performance. Now keep in mind, this is strictly off the cuff; nothing is written down.

Nothing he says is true. He had NO script! This was a rehearsal for

camera, lighting and stage crew. It's all totally meaningless drivel made up as he goes along.

It has been said that this video is still utilized as a training aide

for incoming Congressmen, lawyers, and White House Administrators.

I am not going near that one as I would not wish to be political :evil6:, but it does bring up a interesting point. I suspect there is a pretty good portion of the electorate (on both sides, admin, I said both sides :bowdown:) that do not even know this is funny. Just some engineering geek talking about rocket science stuff. They probably stop the video before it ends and head back to google what the Kardashians (sp?) are up to.....

The Kardashians-- Famous for having one father who helped get OJ off from a double homicide charge as well as a foster father who won medals at the Olympics. Some PR agent is laughing all the way to many banks.

Bogie. I thought it was very clever and boy did he have a smooth uninterupted, believable....and articulate.........presentation...very amusing. Loved it!

But you don't have to just sell a product or service in business or in politics... You have to deliver it too.;)

Beware of the wordy.

Blessed are the concise.
