More picking on Lucas
« on: October 15, 2007, 10:16:25 AM »
I was forwarded another set of Lucas jokes.  I remember some of them and others are new to me.  Enjoy...


The Lucas motto: "Get home before dark."

Lucas denies having invented darkness. But they still claim the "sudden, unexpected darkness"

Lucas is the patent holder for the short circuit.

Lucas - Inventor of the first intermittent wiper.

Lucas - Inventor of the self-dimming headlamp.

The three position Lucas switch - Dim, Flicker and Off. The other three switch settings - Smoke, Smolder and Burn.

The Original Anti-Theft Device - Lucas Electrics.

"I have had a Lucas pacemaker for years and have never had any trou..."

If Lucas made guns, wars would not start either.

Did you hear about the Lucas powered torpedo - It sank!

It's not true that Lucas, in 1947, tried to get Parliament to repeal Ohm's Law. They withdrew their efforts when they meet too much resistance.

Did you hear the one about the guy that peeked into a Land Rover and asked the owner "How can you tell one switch from another at night, as they all look the same ?" "He replied, it does not matter which one you use, nothing happens !"

Lucas systems actually uses AC current; it just has a random frequency.

Back in the 70's, Lucas decided to diversify its product line and began manufacturing vacuum cleaners. It was the only product they offered which did not suck.

QA called and told the Engineering they had trouble with his design shorting out so he made the wires longer.

Alexander Graham Bell invented the Telephone. Thomas Edison invented the Light Bulb. Joseph Lucas invented the Short Circuit.

Recommended procedure before taking on a repair of Lucas equipment: Check the position of the stars, kill a chicken and walk three times sunwise around your car chanting: " Oh mighty Prince of Darkness protect your unworthy servant.."

Why do the English drink their beer WARM? Because their refrigerators are made by Lucas

Thats put a grin on my face after a day running to the tire shop, which of course gave the wife the oppertunity to add that since we were here we might as well as pop into the supermarket in Barrow.

Think'll go and have a pint now.  [smiley=beer.gif]I need something to get over the supermarket experiance

PS... Sod the chicken... you need a virgin, (and then one of royal blood to be sure) before you even start to hope that union stewards of the dark light will call off their strike action... and even then you have to be careful 'coz the flying pickets might decide that your alternator is worth a sit in istead. Which of course needs another virgin.

No wonder virgins are scarce over here... they know that they might find themselves bent over the back of a Triumph on a wet and wild night with three hairy arsed bikers waving leathermans tools reciting the Joe Lucas prayer. "This time is bound to fix it?"

Heh, that's great!  I, too, avoid the grocery and malls like the plague and only venture forth once or twice yearly to prove to the wife I'm not afraid to be seen with her!  I do about 90% of my shopping on-line and hate crowds of any type...
