Winebago Madness

Winnebago Man

I was watching this video when Mother Superior hollered down from upstairs, "Are you fixing the dryer?"  After you watch it for a few minutes you'll  appreciate the (unintended) humor of her query.  Here's a snippet of the Wikipedia entry on Jack Rebney.  . NSFW

Jack Rebney, also known as The Angriest Man In The World, The World's Angriest RV Salesman, or simply Winnebago Man, is the subject of an internet phenomenon, for a collection of outtakes from an industrial film he made for Winnebago Industries in 1988.

The original outtake clip, created by the Midwestern production company hired to edit the final video product, first surfaced around 1990 and circulated person-to-person for years before finally being posted to the Internet. The video shows Mr. Rebney in repeated expletive-laden outbursts over forgotten lines, mistakes by the production crew, hot weather, and, in one montage, over the unwelcome presence of flies.

OK...I changed my mind..instead of Thompson/Gingrich...Thompson/Rebney. Laughed so hard, I think I peed a little, but at my age I'm never sure anymore.

M-O-T-O-R home, not mobile home. I spent 25 years in the business. I'd heard about this but had not seen it till now. Terrific vocabulary, huh?
