I remember it as a `Kludgemaker` in 1947.
The guy took several months to construct this machine in the bowels of the
ship. He eventually emerged and had the machine dropped over the side, where
it went `Kludge` (or swoosh)

I guess you had to be there.

It was another one of those hilarious jokes like waking a guy up at 3 in the
morning and saying in your best conspiratorial fashion "Do you want to buy a
battleship?"
