I found this delightful old short-film on a DVD, and ripped it to YouTube.
It's a cinema short film from the thirties about stroboscopes and high-speed photography/films.
I love the corny old slang used. "Each flash of that light lasts one thirty thousands of a second. Which is faster than a goose in high wind." (!)
This film was lampooned in MAD Magazine once.

I like the way he said "comma", much like they typically say "period", such subtle humour.
This was a pretty cool film, Eo. I thought there were a lot of funny expressions, too...including that hilarious "comma" that you mention, Alex! lol!
Indeed. I really wonder if that was *intentional* humor though. If not, don't ask me what it was about!
