"Jeez, you JUST DON'T GET IT."
Are you sure? Calling him "Jeez" was a big mistake......
"The THREE most important things about a HI-FI SETUP are TROUT FISHING, COLONIC IRRIGATION, PULLING THE WINGS OFF FLIES and AN ALMOST FANATICAL DEVOTION TO FINE SOLDERING DETAIL."
That's four things...... (I admit pulling wings off a greenbottle fly. It actually realized it couldn't fly, and it settled for crawling.....)
"And, of course, nice red uniforms."
Hopefully not the Nebraska Cornhuskers......
"We are RAPIDLY approaching a moment of TRUTH both for ourselves as human beings and for the LIFE of our HOBBY."
Are you sure it's not "a MOMENT of truth FOR ourselves as human BEINGS and for THE life of OUR hobby?"
(Hiccup!)
"Now, truth is not always a PLEASANT thing. But it is necessary now to make A CHOICE, to choose between two admittedly regrettable, but nevertheless *DISTINGUISHABLE*, postwar environments: one where you got twenty million people using dual VOL pots and the other where you got a HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLION people using dual VOL Pots."
Maybe we need to do a DBT and find out......
"BUT It's INCREDIBLY OBVIOUS, isn't it?"
I thought it was obviously incredible, but what do I know.....

"A FOREIGN SUBSTANCE is introduced into our precious bodily fluids WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE of the individual."
You got it wrong. The foreign substance is introduced into the ear canal without such knowledge..... Makes singers sound like robots......
"Certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core HIFI RETAILER works. AFTER THE DEMONSTRATION a profound sense of fatigue... a feeling of emptiness follows.... Loss of ESSENCE."
Damn that pitch correction. (Although both the salesman and listener don't realize it.)
"UND SO A SACRIFICE is required for the future of the human race. I hasten to add that since each man will be required to do prodigious... service building LISTENING ROOMS along these lines, the women will have to be selected for their sexual characteristics which will have to be of a highly stimulating nature."
The women building listening rooms? Now that's cruel.....
"AND FOR POWER SUPPLIES ....."
Dyslexia: I first read this as "pulling wings off flies".....
"nuclear reactors could... I'm sorry....... nuclear reactors could provide POWER almost INDEFINITELY............"
And so can the Sun.

Greenbottle Fly....... (Open in New Window)
