DrDave -

Man, I haven't seen that in a LONG time!!

Will have to get some of those made up for BK to put on the dashboard of his Setras!

Sean needs one for Odyssey, too!

No Gerfingerpoken here. I have an almost phobic fear of the MCI fan belt. I wonder how many injuries it has caused over the years.

Tenor, I love it a true sense of humor pointing out the actual truth! LMAO!
By the way I've never been injured by an MCI fan belt but then again I am always very alert & cautious around it! Yes I have many times reached thru it, or around it to rev one up or shut it down by hand! I too have often wondered how many careless folks have been injured by them.

All our new transits Orion/New Flyer for the last decade have been coming with an optional cage over the fan belts...

PITA, but then, it's a lot harder to get caught up in them, when in there for other reasons...

happy coaching!

Rofl!!

Although it's obvious what is said and meant I fed that into Alta Vista Babel Fish Translation to see what it would come up with and here it is:

NOTE! The machine is not fur Gerfingerpoken and in the middle-digs. Easy snatches if that is jumping work, blowenfusen and poppencorken with sharpen-park. Is not fur trades by the Dummkopfen. The rubbernecken sightseeren keepen hands in pockets. Relaxen and watch the Blinkenlights

Oh good! Now it is perfectly clear to me!

As long as you mention it, I can tell you precisely the first time I saw this (although it had the word "kontrol" in it, right after "machine": "Das machine kontrol ist nicht...". It was 1974 (yes, 34 years ago), and it was taped to the front of a PDP-8/e minicomputer for which I had some administrative responsibilities.

Even then, the sign I remember was probably a third- or fourth-generation photocopy of an original that pre-dated it by another decade. But it was funny, and, oddly enough, I think it actually worked, which is to say, it had some effect in keeping people's paws off the controls.

Ah, the good old days.
