[Antennas] offtopic but funny (too me) story Re: Automotive battery blanket

[bill]

I apologize if this offtopic story offends

I was a fulltime firefighter, but we also responded upon callbacks for 
major events.

I installed an engine heater in my pickup, it was a hot water device 
that circulated hot water through the engine on cold winter nights.
I had a long extension cord.
One night, we got a call to respond, I jumped out, pulled the cord out 
of the plug and threw the end of the cord at the top of the fence.
Drove about a mile, had to stop for a light and another car pulled up 
next to me and yelled: "hey your dragging a long extension cord"

Instantly I knew what happened as I jumped out to retrieve the cord and 
yelled back: "thanks, these damn electric pickups are a pita!"

coiled the cord, through it in the back of the truck. Light changed and 
we drove off

but....You should have seen the look on his face.!
