OK, here's one that is a tad more socially acceptable

"Blue Birds R On Your Grass But Vultures Get Worms."

I just made that up,  I'll try to do better next time...

Don’t try to remove the leads from the sticky tape, just use your flush cutters

Hi Fred,
It's called a sequencer.  Individual reels of tape and reel axial parts

are loaded in the sequencer.  So there would be an entire reel of 10k
resistors, a separate reel of 100k, separate reel of diodes, etc.

The sequencer then removes the parts from the tape and creates a new

tape with the parts in the proper order and count.  The sequencer my
company used to have would also measure the value of the part and reject it
if it wasn't in the tolerance window.

I hope that all makes sense...
Surface mount is oh so much easier.  We have 9 surface mount lines and

rarely use the axial through hole inserter these days.
