I'm full of stories today...

Dad told me of when he was driving on the highway many years back and his headlights went completely dead...he pulled over as soon as he could, found out that his fuse had blown so he took the cigarette pack out of his pocket, pulled out the tin foil wrapper and used it in place of the fuse til he got home...

Necessity is truly the mother of invention...
