The Human Calculator

[Excerpts from a Scott Flansburg (a.k.a. The Human Calculator) infomercial]:

"This is just designed to help people overcome the basic fear of math."

"The human calculator. The human calculator
The human calculator. The human calculator"

"Some possible exceptions to say that there’s just a future in mathematics…"

"Not everyone can be a rocket scientist, but everybody needs math."
"Not everyone can be a rocket scientist, but everybody needs math."

"The human calculator. The human calculator
The human calculator. The human calculator"

"You know, I don't want everybody to walk around and being a human calculator and yelling out division to the sixth decimal place, or anything like that, because that would sort of put me out of job."

"Not everyone can be a rocket scientist, but everybody needs math."
"Not everyone can be a rocket scientist, but everybody needs math."

"The human calculator. The human calculator
The human calculator. The human calculator"

"Amazing!"
"Wow!"
"Has it changed the way that you viewed math? Were you a little uneasy about it?"
"Yeah, I was. I was never good at math."
"Wha… what do you do?"
"I'm disabled."

"Was this an inspiration for him?"
"Yes, oh Lord, yes! It saved our lives!"
