All onlookers, the computer is not for finger-poking and hand-grabbing.  It is easy to break the springworkings.  Blown fuses and sparking is not work for the dummyheads.  The rubber-necking sightseer should keep his hands in his pockets.  Relax and watch the blinking lights."

The point is that you're supposed to just sound it out vs trying to translate jibberish.  It makes you sound like you're speaking with a terrible German accent and saying funny things at the same time.
