fuse madness

Buss made fuses with tails on them that would allow you to direct solder them into a circuit. This is of course a joke, but the heavy handed soldering job makes me wonder if the fuse ever did anything at all. The manufacturer would have been at fault to have put it in in the first place with direct solder in the yellow wires. I am thinking of a late night scenario in this case with one of those nifty Weller 500 watt guns that could be used with copper water pipe and delicate electronics, and someone with no idea where fuses came from. Just legislate the problem out of existence by this sort of mess. Surprised there was no copper penny used as well. Jim
