What's your function?"
Remember that song we sang in school, "Conjunction Junction"?
Appear some telecom tech does, and one with a sense of humor as well.

I missed that song title. Maybe I went to the wrong school.

Would have been mid- to late 70's for me. I saw them on Saturday morning cartoons. They are 2-3 minutes or so.

Seems I attended the wrong school also, never heard the song . . .
Have done a bit of lead/paper, twist and solder comm cable splicing earlier on, and witnessed first hand some of the humor left inside those lead splice sleeves by comm techs. You hard core comm guys are laughing off your chairs now, aren't you, thinking about some of those time bombs you left!

I was on the other side of the world from '72'-'83', so I guess that's why I didn't know the tune.

I remember those songs from my Saturday morning cartoon days!! (like they have ever really gone away!!!!) and I am in my early 20's. It is all in the shows that you watched!!! Did you guys have Louie the Lightning Bug? My dad is a lineman and I remember thinking it was the coolest thing when I found out that he was the one dressed as Louie the Lightning Bug that used that electrickery to cook a hot dog.

OK, I'll bite. What is a Bug Suit? I googled 'bug suit' and received 557,000 hits.
Did not have time to review all of them, thought you might short circuit me to a 'clip' of a 'bug suit'.
Thank you.

Thanks. I unnerstan now.
Seems I got out of the trade just in time, before all that 'really hevi-duty' PPE became fashonible attire. Fortunately I did not get burned up during my tenure.
I really have never experienced a residential arc-fault breaker either. See 'em in the OrangeBox/Blueboxes, but don't stick my nose too close to 'em . . .

Sorry Kletis and 480,
Viewed "Guidelines for Louie the Lightning Bug® Program Licensees and Users of Louie Servicemark Products".
I see we are talking apples and oranges.
Now I am not only arc fault breaker challenged, but also Louie the Lightning Bug challenged. You spose there is any hope for me?
