My boss learned the hard way about fuses in cars. His stereo
started popping every 2A fuse he put in. OK, time for lateral
thinking. Forget those wimpy 2A fuses, waste of money those
things. He shoves a 40A headlight fuse in there. Ha ! Now that's
a man's fuse, let's see you pop now. No, no, no. Let's see the
sound-proofing behind the dash catch fire shall we and watch
boss run around like a headless chicken. Hey boss, I think I
know where you went wrong there chief...........
