(NYSE) Breaking News: Popcorn Futures Nose Dive.

[BikeWriter]

The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) reports thousands of investors have lost their investments in Popcorn Futures. These catastrophic losses were precipitated by rumors of the recent demise of Crazy Guggenheim, notorious popcorn addict and raconteur.
Our reporters interviewed one investor, Mr. Call Me Wesley who had this to say. "Everything, we lost everything in the crash! Our Swiss chalet has been sold for a song. My dear wife Heidi's boots have been returned to the store, and our cat is eating oatmeal."
More news to follow soon.

11. How could I have missed this?

:rofl: But, since it's all true, even :cry:

Fortunately, I still have the helms (or whatever you call this thing) from the recently deceased Crazy Guggenheim in my posession. And one pack of instant fondue left. We'll survive!

12. I see it called the engine order telegraph at one site, Wesley.

"the engine order telegraph, which conveys engine speed orders from the bridge or conning tower."

It should be worth something. Perhaps it will finance your comeback on the stock exchange. :)

13. You're right,

now I remember the German term for it 'Maschinentelegraf.'

But right now I'm trying to sell Crazy Guggenheim itself on eBay. ;)

Thanks for the laugh!
