Administration:
Owners of the IGM 2000 Turbo main frame Intel Muncher series are to note:
Following the recent conflagulationary divestment of the main spring collecting data plodder it has been decided that all mainframe biannual grunge gathering device supporting documentation must be inspected by Miss Ann Ually of head office quarterly. This should negate any further instances of multiple gland expansion and meandering of the hemispherical pinion rack connected to the data gander. Please refer to your manual on this subject and ensure your turn and bank indicators are fully retracted when leaving or entering a main intersection. No special safety precautions are necessary and the aid of a safety net is only recommended if you need to remove the bladder ladder and inspection plate therein to get into the main disc mounting shaft prior to lubrication of the top mast ball race and chain driven megasplicer. Care should be taken to ensure your hands stay attached to your wrists throughout this operation.
