"It's the model three", I say (what the hell, it worked before).
"What the f*ck's a model three?", he asks confused.

"Oh, I haven't got the parts for that - I've only got a replacement board.", he says in a confused manner. "Which one was the fuse again?"
I point it out to him.
"Wow! And what does it do again? You know, I've been working at the same place for 6 years, and I've never seen one of those fuse thingys. It's amazing what you learn isn't it!"
"What are you again?", I ask, already suspecting the answer.
