The CRT Angel (self-contained CRT recycling unit) was especially interesting.

California spent a bundle of the smoking tax money on commercials instead of the health care they promised the money would be spent on. One of the funnier ones asked the tobacco companies how they covered up evidence of wrong doing. "You know, those office shredders just aren't up to the task of shredding thousands of documents." Then proceeded to throw laptops, PC desk tops and finally a complete 4-drawer filing cabinet through truck mounted wood chipper. Was quite the fun thing to watch even if it was fake. ;-) Jeff -- �Egotism is the anesthetic that dulls the pain of stupidity.� Frank Leahy, Head coach, Notre Dame 1941-1954 http://www.stay-connect.com |
