On Sat, 2 Feb 2008 15:50:27 -0500, with neither quill nor qualm, "Ed
Huntress" quickly quoth:

The next owner of the car, who was my roommate, got the car run over by a
Buick station wagon a few months later so he never had to explain to a shop
why none of the wires were in the right place. g Fortunately he survived
and bought a Lotus Seven. Fortunately, he's survived that, too, and still
has that one 38 years later.


That's unusual!


That's only one of my several personal stories involving Joseph Lucas,
Prince of Darkness and inventor of the short circuit. d8-)


He's also the inventor of the open circuit and the rustified
intermittent circuit. He was obviously using the dark side of the
Force.
