Subject:      Blinker Fluid
Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII

"I tried to fill my blinker relay last night and something is wrong.  It
shorted out and made a sizzling noise like snap, crackle, pop.  What did I do
wrong?"

Hey guys, I know we can have some fun, but some of these guys on this list are
so clueless mechanically that one of them might just try to add some fluid to
his blinker relay and then send us the letter I made up, above (scared you
didn't I?)   I have gotten cars for dirt cheap before because the previous
owners swore something was wrong with the vehicle.  When I checked it out
after purchasing the car, I found out that the problem was that the car was
out of gas!  So have fun but let us somehow specify that there is no such
thing as blinker fluid so don't try to replace any (if you still have your
receipt they will give you your money back at the parts store).
