The Latest New Product From GERN...

[doctorwayne]

I recently received this press release from the offices of GERN CEO Charles "Cookie" Gibson:

Hello Flux Fans and Greetings From GERN

For Immediate Release:

GERN Corporation is pleased to announce a new addition to the GERN family of fine
products: New FluxKote Rail Dressing, now available in Roll-on. Goes on Smooth and
Hangs on Tight!

In completely independent and unbiased, arms-length testing, GERN Scientists found
FluxKote to be 3% less bubbly than other brands. And, rolling stock rolled .72% more
smoothly! That means less bruising when shipping soft metals, cheese and delicate
undergarments.

Discerning railway magnates agree... It just has to be FluxKote Rail Dressing!

Yours etc.

Cookie Gibson

Shortly thereafter, I received this correction:

A GERN Press Release was inadvertently sent out in which the posterior idler arm on
the roller lift cage mechanism was shown if the gone or missing condition. FluxKote
roller spindles cannot be operated with the arm in the gone position. For safe
operation in either the apply or lift mode please ensure that the idler arm is in the
not gone position and securely fastened with the appropriate Dressler Nut (#12), an
inside banjo bolt, or a ukelele pin (flux dipped finish).

We regret any inconvenience or injuries to live stock which may have resulted.

...followed by this:

We regret the spellling errors in are prevous correction. It hsould have read:

"Steamish or dieselly----trains roll more easily"

Okay. That last bit made my head hurt.

Electrically, they probably operate more eclectically.

That's wonderful Wayne! The ad is priceless! I especially love the copy with the use of the word "Dieselly" and the graphic illustrating the undesirable beading on the rails compared to the smooth surface Fluxkote offers!

It brings back memories of Tyson Rayles, Kettlestack, and others.
