I wasn't going to play here, but you guys started it:

     Our old friend Grommethead Shultz
     Removed all the interlock bolts.
          His amp kept on trying,
          Sending G-S a-flying,
     Proving amperes times ohms equals volts.

Older, more mature readers may recall the incarnation of Mssr. Shultz
at the hands of W9BRD. I had the honor of hearing Mr. Newkirk read
one of my limericks at the W9DXCC convention a couple of years ago. I
won the DX Hoggery and Poetry Deprecation Society contest at that
event.

And lest anyone think of posting more poetry, I have a whole sheaf of 
limericks I developed for the contest. As V.I. Lenin once said, 
"quantity has a quality all its own."
