Google "Walt Akers". He wrote a great story of a Thanks Giving Dinner.
His only task was to whip the whipping cream for the pumpkin pie.

He quickly decided that a hand mixer would take forever and and
the electric mixer was grossly underpowered. Speculating that the
the shaft of a beater would fit in the collar of one of his routers he
tested the fit. Fit perfectly.

Alas, he forgot that his router's lowest speed was around 20K rpms
and was probably set around 26K rpms when he squeezed the ON/OFF
trigger.

Walt DID write some great stories but the whippped creams story was
David Elsan's. Here's a link:
