As a school kid, I used to work in Tandy, before I went of to do an EE degree. I 
recall one guy coming in to by some fuses - we sold them in packs of 3. A few 
days later, he come back, and bought some more identical fuses. Then another few 
days passes, and he comes back and buys more identical fuses.

After this had happened 3 or 4 times, I asked him what he was doing with them. 
He told me that he fits them in his HiFi, but they keep blowing!
