Disclaimer;
The previous two posts by the idiot, Franc Rauscher, were made in jest, tongue in cheek, not to be taken seriously. Although none of the names or places were changed, so as to protect the innocent, the stories related were none the less TRUE.
While the idiot, Fanc Rauscher, did survive each and every episode, I do not endorse or actually suggest said method of battery testing.
Franc Rauscher is not a lawyer, nor has he ever played one on TV. He has however, entertained and occasionaly infurriated a few. Especially those of his former business partners.
Further, Franc Rauscher is not an electrician although he has repeated many of the experiments of Thomas Edison and Ben Franklin in that field.
Not neccesarily on purpose!
