Without comment or context: Jarvis Products makes devices such as the automatic hog splitter and the bung ring expander.

I think I prefer the Neck Breaker, Semi-Auto. Wonder how many of these will end up in Duke Nukem Forever

Hmmm... The bung dropper is giving me flashbacks involving a UFO and some aliens...

The automatic hog splitter does 650 hogs per hour! Holy shit! That's almost 5 seconds per hog. And what do they mean by 'less sawdust'? Do you actually put sawdust on the floor of a butchery that uses this kind of equipment?!?

Oh my gosh - the automatic hock cutter is PLC controlled. I sure would have hated to have to beta test that code!

No, I think they mean "less sawdust". You run a sawblade through something, be a piece of wood or a pig carcass, you're gonna get a spray of very fine particles of whatever you're cutting.

I think they probably call it "sawdust" because it sounds a lot nicer than "almost-but-not-quite vaporized pig flesh".
