Is the talk name maybe a reference to Huck Finn?

"Bless you, child, when you set out to thread a needle, don't hold the thread still and fetch the needle up to it. Hold the needle still and poke the thread at it--that's the way a woman most always does, but a man always does 'tother way."

an interesting thought, but I think she was referring to the needle on a meter (like an analog pressure or volt meter). at least the picture on the first slide was a meter like that, with the needle near zero.
