Well... Everything seems to be in order. The LyndoorTM indoor smokulation multispectrum Uncapulator Unit is purring like a kitten, as you can see, The Jabulation Control valve signal is well within range.

After verifying his ladder logic, the programmer realized to late, that Iran had struck back with "Stuxnet - Part Deux" for Rockwell products.

Doesn't matter how high-tech the oven is, my wife believes that dinner isn't ready until the smoke detector says so.

OH GOD NO!!! Not another stupid safety video.

"Billy forgot to close the safety doors before turning on the main power. Oh my, Billy has a problem. And where is Billy's PPE and BVD? What should Billy do now?"

"This expensive safety video has been made by the Business Industrial Network. A group of guys that barely understand how to use Photo-shop with public domain images."

It just numbs my brain to know that management cares this much about my lawyer.

Jack's cold fusion went up in smoke, and the Quality Engineer just gave a cardboard stare.

Kris wondered again if letting the Cr4wlSpace Crew use the KrisDel™ Time Machine was a good idea.

When he caught the Cat, Kris would tell the toxophilic feline to quit testing his bows on the company laptops and hoping no-one would notice the cardboard replacements.

But first he needed to work out where he'd left his smart red Coat and Tail....

Just like my ole 84 toyota, two days ago. It was built with one rod to many. It throwed it out in the street and left a hole for the smoke to get away and I lost it all.

After years of struggling to keep up with demand, the installation of the Woo Woo Automatic Dim Sum Cooker solved the problem at the Hard Wok Buffet.

This is EXACTLY why the test bed (pilot plant) process works out!

Before management, along with the board of directors, goes ahead and invests millions and or billions on a potential project, or on a bankable feasibility study, you've just got to work out the bugs or potential unseen problems out of the system beforehand, at a fraction of the total cost.
