Joel, (and list)
I recently read this on 0ff-road mailing list.  I thought of you when I saw
the Alabama connection: (I couldn't wait til Friday)

"Dave <or Joel> so-and-so of Anniston <or Tuscaloosa>, Alabama, was injured
recently after he attempted to replace a tubelike fuse in his Chevy pickup
<or VW Vanagon> with a 22-caliber rifle bullet (used because "it was a
perfect fit").  However, when electricity heated the bullet, it went off and
shot him in the knee."

(Yes, I know Vanagons don't use that shape of fuse)
