I won't mention names,
but it reminds me of a story about the repair supervisor
of a camera shop's repair department who was working on

so to save time, he just used his teeth. You guess it --
the main cap wasn't fully discharged, and he blew a hole
in his lip.
People sometimes do really stupid things....
