    It's a sad fact that reality does not always live up to science fiction.
  • You left out the train with your wife coming back, and your truck getting down off the cInderblocks and reassembling itself

    Q: Any tricks to make an AC motor run backwards?
    A: A mirror!
  • truck getting down off the cInderblocks and reassembling itself

    LMAO!

  • I'll attach photos of the forward/reverse contactor I have on my lathe for threading operations, and how it is wired to the motor, and the specs of the motor itself.

    Keen to do it with a mirror, although wouldn't that give a left-hand thread?

  • Careful ... You keep making those backward jokes that refer to the dog coming home, the truck fixing itself, etc. and I might have to work for Par****x again.
  • Lol

  • Frank reminded me of one but I only remember the gist of it:

    Cop: "Sir, you could clearly see my flashing lights but instead of pulling over you accelerated. Do you realise that we hit 120mph before you decided to pull over....what's going on?"

    Driver: "So sorry officer, I panicked. You see, my wife left me for a policeman and for a minute, I thought you were bringing her back."
