This reminds me of my favorite IT story, from back in the day when I worked in IT Support for Intel...
An Electrical Engineer frantically called in because his computer had locked up, while he was viewing some confidential document, on some Multimillion Dollar Project! (BTW, everyone at Intel is always working on some Multimillion Dollar project....
) Also, this particular EE designs chips for Intel.....EE: My computer froze, and I don't know what to do!?!?
Me: Just push and hold the power button on your PC until it turns off, then turn it back on.
EE: Power Button!?!? My Computer doesn't have a Power Button!
Me: If it doesn't have a Power Button, how do you turn it on in the morning?
EE: It is always on.
After seeing we were going nowhere, I walked across the building, and into his cubicle, and pressed his power button for him...
EE: Oh! It does have a power button!
I am always amazed how someone can be smart enough to design computer chips, but so stupid that they don't understand computers have power buttons..... I often find that when someone is really good at one thing, they are completely incompetent when it comes to EVERYTHING ELSE!

Many OHV park trail guides have these PA speakers in their vehicles to communicate with others in their group who do not have CBs or HAM radios. First time I went to an OHV park, our trail guide had one and it was extremely beneficial to our group of 4 trucks. Additionally, it is an easier way to communicate with spotters who may be a distance away and are only using hand signals.

Who would be 33 not 32, it doesn't take a Friggin' Idiot to figure that one out!
