Sometimes I throw the chuck just to feel something.

I've had several thousand deducted from my pay to fix the ceiling.

Took a machining class, could barely drill a 3/16"(I think?) at 2000rpm cause that video scared me so much

Oh definitely. However the warning joke appears to imply that even attempting to use it will alter you in some comic supervillain sense or something.
