Audio Compressor & other bad sleepless humor.

IIRC, it was a true story. 
Now I gotta run. My cathode escaped, and I have to build a cathode follower.

Some good groaners there Frank. I like the first one, since it could really be a true story the way some folks are these days.

I remember a cute cartoon in an issue of CQ magazine some years ago. Two chaps are at the base of a high tower looking up with concerned looks on their faces. At the top is another guy hanging upside down by one leg from an element of a beam antenna.

One of the guys at the bottom says to the other guy...., " I would love to bring him down, but he's giving me 1.1 to 1 all across the band."

Story I read in an electronics servicing mag in the 50's or 60's:

A tech was headed on a service call and saw a pickup truck stopped at a gas station.
 2 guys had an air hose and were trying to connect it to their TV sets picture tube in the back of their pickup truck.
 Curiosity got the better of him and he stopped and asked what they were doing.
  The guys replied "We stopped and the picture tube hit the cab, started hissing, and we are trying to put the air back in it". 
(Wacko enough to be a true story after all I have seen in the service industry.)

Did you guys hear about the CB'er who thought he could use his audio compressor to fill his car tires with?

 I need to buy a new drip pan for my grid leak.

You ever lose a cathode? It's easy to find it. Just build a cathode follower.

Where does the military keep their ducks? Inductence, of course.

Are current vines AC or DC?

Guy walked into a parts store and said he needed some resistors. 
The clerk asked how many. He replied "A hand full of Ohms should do it".

Did you ever wonder why you have to cut a hole just to put in a plug? (Think about it ).

Why aren't all banana plugs yellow?

Do radios hum because they don't know the words to the song?
