Default A little knowledge can be dangerous

Not in this case , but got a good laugh from Ebay this morning.
First ad was for a CRAB CAKE distributor.
Second was for a RARE TWO PART temp sender that was actually
a cut off bulb and an adapter.

I like when they say `Never tried it to see if it works.' You can bet it doesn't.

I like "It ran when it was parked"

Yea, it ran, until it didn't and that was why it was parked....

I do commercial Refg and appl work, and this maintenance guy had wire nuted a broken thermostat capillary tube on a soup warmer. He couldn't figure out why it was a run away! When I saw that big red wire nut, I fell out laughing!

Maybe that's why it's so rare
