I laugh every time I install the packet driver for IBVERUP:

That is definitely one of my favorites.

I've been joking about that one for 2 years now. My personal favorite is
"Not for the other use"

I swear this is true i had one that was for installing a new PWB it said make sure you touched metal to make sure the current would flow thru the aqueduct to the faucet.

what about toshiba's abnormal abnormality.

Rodney - I remember that one! Can't remember where it was - anybody??? A fax system perhaps?

I think it was from the C5016 manual, here is the cut/paste.

Before removing the LED print head, sufficiently
do to let escape the static electricity
which is electrified in the human body concerning
the metal part and the like of the
aqueduct faucet, after that do that work.

dude, that makes me howl!!

Dang! That IS messed up!

This all started in the 70's when Japanese Technical Writers hired American Secretaries.

If he dictated "Crimb up the radder",or "Worky fine, rast a goood rong time" that's exactly what she typed.

Anybody else remember the writing in the service manauls for the Mita 500D/600D/800D/900D?

Or the Olympia AEG Typewriter Service Manual Schematics?

Yeesh!

what about the master clump on the duplicators?

From the FS-1128mfp Tech Bulletin 1:

This is funny stuff...keep it going.

Mita had plenty of "Lump Units"
Sharp referred to "deveroper units" and "carbeuration" (calibration)

I seem to remember Brank lamps in the DC5090

My favorite Engrish of all time is on a box of Chinese 7.62x39 ammo I got. "Keep out of children." Seems like good advice.

The clamshell shocks on the DC 4086 were listed as DUMPERS instead of DAMPERS. Sorry I brought up that beast.

When I went to Mitsubishi Fax School (yep, Mitsu). Our instructor, Arnold Dangidang, was from Japan and hadn't had much American food.

The first day's lunch was Chili. I asked "hey Arnie, how's the Chili"? he replied, "I RIKE IT".

Well, you can guess what the buzz words were for the rest of the week.
