We haven't done anything funny this year but we did have a funny thing happen.
We have an exchange student, from Italy, on our team. She is a big asset to our team. She really knows her way around a shop.
One day she brought in one of those throw away cameras. She finished taking all her pictures than she proceeded to take the camera apart to get the film out. She didn't understand that you take the whole camera in to get the film developed. So here she is with the camera disassembled and was looking at the inards. One of the engineers started to say "Be careful what you touch, you may get..." ZAP!!! She dropped the camera in a hurry. She had touched the flash capacitor that had about 400 volts stored. After that she wouldn't go any where near the camera
So when you see Mercedes at the regioinals and Nats, ask her about throw away cameras.
Just don't tell her that I told you this
