"Hi. My name's Andy Powell. Of Wishbone Ash? Right. Anyway I'm here to talk to you about something that I think is important to all of us, as human beings together on Spaceship Earth. What I'm talking about is . . . Carburetor Foot. That's right: Carburetor Foot. Sure, I know it's not a glamorous disease and it doesn't lend itself well to slogans, jingles, telethons, and the like. Then of course I m not Jerry Lewis. Carburetor Foot. This ol"^uy with me here, he s got it. You'd never think it could happen to such a beautiful 1954 Jaguar XK140 with a 3 1/2 litre straight six engine and right-hand steering! Well, it did. Yeah, and you know, no, actually you don't know . . . You never know where it will strike next. It might get your g randmother, and then she'd smell real bad even worse than she does now. I'm not kidding. It's really disgusting. But, frankly, the best part of the disease is that there are no warning signs and no cure! This is Andy Powell Thanks a lot."
