$ fortune | cowsay _________________________________________ / A sheet of paper crossed my desk the \ | other day and as I read it, realization | | of a basic truth came over me. So | | simple! So obvious we couldn't see it. | | John Knivlen, Chairman of Polamar | | Repeater Club, an amateur radio group, | | had discovered how IC circuits work. He | | says that smoke is the thing that makes | | ICs work because every time you let the | | smoke out of an IC circuit, it stops | | working. He claims to have verified | | this with thorough testing. | | | | I was flabbergasted! Of course! Smoke | | makes all things electrical work. | | Remember the last time smoke escaped | | from your Lucas voltage regulator | | Didn't it quit working? I sat and | | smiled like an idiot as more of the | | truth dawned. It's the wiring harness | | that carries the smoke from one device | | to another in your Mini, MG or Jag. And | | when the harness springs a leak, it | | lets the smoke out of everything at | | once, and then nothing works. The | | starter motor requires large quantities | | of smoke to operate properly, and | | that's why the wire going to it is so | | large. | | | | Feeling very smug, I continued to | | expand my hypothesis. Why are Lucas | | electronics more likely to leak than | | say Bosch? Hmmm... Aha!!! Lucas is | | British, and all things British leak! | | British convertible tops leak water, | | British engines leak oil, British | | displacer units leak hydrostatic fluid, | | and I might add Brititsh tires leak | | air, and the British defense unit leaks | | secrets... so naturally British | | electronics leak smoke. | | | | -- Jack Banton, PCC Automotive | | Electrical School | | | | [Ummm ... IC circuits? Integrated | \ circuit circuits?] / ----------------------------------------- \ ^__^ \ (oo)\_______ (__)\ )\/\ ||----w | || ||
