Colonel Jack W Phillipson, a noted weapons collector and playwright, penman of theatrical escapades such as "How We Plundered the East and Ravaged their Camels", "Inside a Tin Box to the Moons of Saturn" and "The Woman with a Green Thorax: Interspecial Interactions", graciously spared us this utterly believable tale from his journals:

"A manly slap on the back to the brainy boffins behind the glorious Manmelter 3600ZX! Its performance in the field is exemplary, and a startling advancement over its contemporaries.
