Between real jobs I had a part time gig selling cameras and computers at Circuit City back around 2003..

Of course there was big pressure to add on the extended warranties...

We used to stand around and impersonate famous people pushing the extended warranty..

Donkey Dick - Tractor Backhoe Auger Attachment

The F-4 had a device to disable the internal centerline rack ejector mechanism (that positively pushes the store away from the airplane) when something like a centerline tank was carried. It had a cylinder that protruded outside the airplane, I guess to grasp for removal and installation, and was unofficially called a donkey dick.
