Kurt R.A. Giambastiani

It’s been a long, tough week. I’ve been on-call at work, and the emphasis has been on “call.” But my stint ends this afternoon, and I’ll have the weekend to rest, relax, maybe spend some time in the garden.

Yesterday, though, an item crossed my desk that made my co-workers worry about me. I sat in my cube (I was waiting for one of my interminable telecon meetings to begin), and people could hear me spurting and spluttering, stifling what would have been totally workplace-inappropriate guffaws.

The reason? I had been introduced to the Turbo-Encabulator.

The Turbo-Encabulator is the engineering equivalent of computer hardware’s Write-Only Memory (WOM), with the main difference being that you don’t have to be an engineer to find it funny.

If you, too, want to learn more about the Turbo-Encabulator, there’s a video that explains everything you ever wanted to know about it. It’s completely Safe For Work, so no worries on that score. There are also several articles around the web, as well, so dive in, and have a good Friday laugh.
