Late '80s recording tech humor

I've written numerous posts about the quirky personality my high school orchestra director, Mr. D., displayed in and out of class.  Here's some very of-its-time dialogue from orchestra class, circa 1988:

Student: How do you like CDs?
Me: It's good that they exist, for the convenience factor and the sound quality that tops a record that's warped or skips.  I just wish they made blank CDs I could record onto, like cassette tapes.
Mr. D., walking by with uncanny timing, grinning from ear to ear: They do.  You just have to have your own factory.

Mr. D. then laughed his trademark, "Ha, ha, HA!" and walked on.
