More proof that Phildo is still obsessed with me. It makes him into a joke!

Besides I never had any trouble with Lucas >> electricals. Cut and pasted from a website dedicated to the Priince of Darkness, Lucas Electronics and as you can see, behind all great humor is the seed of truth so the legends of lucas is not "all in my mind" Lucas, the Prince of Darkness Lucas electrical components' fallibility is a perennial subject of discussion among the often erudite enthusiasts of British sports cars and motorcycles. There are many interesting views on the positives and negatives of Lucas parts, and the discussions are always enlivened by the humor which cloaks the Prince of Darkness. For sure, Lucas jokes will always be amusing. Since Lucas jokes are so easily found on many websites devoted to those magnificently wonderful British machines (did i give myself away there?), why bother repeating them here? Simply because I have yet to find a list which includes every one of the jokes below, even if the one representing my own attempt at Lucas humor is discounted. Know any more good Lucas jokes? Shine some light on the subject, send them here and I'll include them with the list. The Lucas motto: "Get home before dark." Lucas denies having invented darkness. But they still claim "sudden, unexpected darkness" Lucas--inventor of the first intermittent wiper. Lucas--inventor of the self-dimming headlamp. The three-position Lucas switch--DIM, FLICKER and OFF. The other three switch settings--SMOKE, SMOLDER and IGNITE. Lucas dip-switch positions: LOW and BLOW (Bruce Miller, www.hermit.cc) The original anti-theft devices--Lucas Electric products. "I've had a Lucas pacemaker for years and have never experienced any prob... If Lucas made guns, wars would not start either. Did you hear about the Lucas powered torpedo? It sank. It's not true that Lucas, in 1947, tried to get Parliament to repeal Ohm's Law. They withdrew their efforts when they met too much resistance. Did you hear the one about the guy that peeked into a Land Rover and asked the owner "How can you tell one switch from another at night, since they all look the same?" "He replied, it doesn't matter which one you use, nothing happens!" Back in the '70s Lucas decided to diversify its product line and began manufacturing vacuum cleaners. It was the only product they offered which didn't suck. Quality Assurance phoned and advised the Lucas engineering guy that they had trouble with his design shorting out. So he made the wires longer. Why do the English drink warm beer? Lucas made the refrigerators, too. Alexander Graham Bell invented the Telephone. Thomas Edison invented the Light Bulb. Joseph Lucas invented the Short Circuit. Recommended procedure before taking on a repair of Lucas equipment: check the position of the stars, kill a chicken and walk three times sunwise around your car chanting: "Oh mighty Prince of Darkness protect your unworthy servant." Lucas systems actually uses AC current; it just has a random frequency. How to make AIDS disappear? Give it a Lucas parts number. Recently, Lucas won out over Bosch to supply the electrical for the new Volkswagens. So, now the cars from the Black Forest will come with electrics supplied by the Lord of Darkness -- how appropriate! Lucas is an acronym for Loose Unsoldered Connections and Splices. The Prince's last words to his son: "don't go riding after dark" (via Bernie Allan, BritIron Newsgroup)
