Speaking of exploding caps, many years ago I was visiting a friend who
owned
a TV repair shop. One nice summer morning we were drinking coffee and
shooting the breeze just inside the back door of the shop. Suddenly a
bang
drew my attention to a 80@450 that is sailing in our direction from over a
6ft high wall smoking and fizzling. This now airborne projectile,
formerly
known as a capacitor, landed near our feet. My friend calmly got up and
kicked it out the door. He then hollered to one of the techs working and
said, "Experimenting again Jerry?" and continued with our conversation
like
this was a normal everyday occurance. I nearly died laughing.

I still don't know if that was a 'bit' or not.

LMAO!
