Paul Klipsch did similar stuff, i. e., racy pictures amongst the regular
slides, including a picture of the classic statue ""Wrestlers"" which is in,
I believe, Vienna...............The nudie slide would only be on screen long
enough --often upside down--to see that it was naughty when he would quickly
move to the next slide with an "oops" or Uh oh".......
Standard were the 2" yellow "BULLSHIT" buttonss on the back of his tie or
inside his coattails for handy flashing ("In stereo", he would say) when
that comment was appropriate, which was/is plenty frequent in the
hi-fi/stereo bidness. (Thus his "One Page Physics Book" for acoustics.)
Sadly, Ol'Paul has gone on, too........
Your sickness is epidemic..........................<g>
