This is off-topic, but I have to relate it - my apologies.

Regarding #1 on the insanity list, the hair dryer in the car thing:

A few years ago I went to an auction at an old county courthouse. I bought a real old radar gun for five bucks. It didn't work, so I asked my father-in-law, an electronics wiz, if he could fix it. Luckily, he was able to get it working.

Well, my father- and mother-in-law live on a small farm, off a dirt road, that's off a two-lane county road. To test the radar gun, they drove to the county road, and checked the speed of cars coming by. Imagine driving along the road, when your radar detector goes off. You quickly slow down, only to see your speed being checked by two old people in a Buick Skylark. Pretty funny.
