Classic and groanworthy as everTotally offtopic, a doctor was having trouble with his well pump and tried fixing it. In the process he fell into the well. The moral of the story is the doctor should have attended to the sick and left the well alone.
The slide should say "the device has been modified"I hope it says "Do not look directly into the operational end of the device" somewhere...

cockpit
1580s, "a pit for fighting cocks," from cock (n.1) + pit (1).
Used in nautical sense (1706) for midshipmen's compartment below decks; transferred to airplanes (1914) and to cars (1930s).

It's kind of long but one of my favourite Chaplin films. IIRC, Albert Speer wrote in one of his books (Inside The Third Reich (great book by the way)) that Hitler watched the film twice but his opinion on the film is not known. May sound a bit far fetched but you have to remember that Hitler would watch at least one film every night with his favourite staff for much of the war.Technician1002 wrote:Thanks.
