It was indeed published in an april edition of EA or ETI back in the
80's. Where I worked at the time, we got MANY laughs reading that one. (especially since at the time we knew such a "fanatic" who was such a perfectionist in everything, he would probably have tried it !)particularly the part where "nylex premium garden hose provides an extra octave" (i think) over the cheaper stuff
I assumed this was an april fools joke at the time, I hope I wasnt wrong !
I dont know the name of the car(s) either, but you can pick them out by the 'Alarm Installed' stickers on their windows, and the racket they make when the bonnet is lifted without turning off the alarm

**No. Every car alarm system I've ever seen (which is far from all of them, BTW) uses a regular, N/O push switch for the bonnet. OTOH, every motorcycle alarm I've ever seen (which is not many) uses mercury switches for position sensing.-- Trevor Wilson www.rageaudio.com.au

I'd settle for Phil being oxygen free, perhaps fred too
But don't they breathe methane?
I would expect the methane to be a byproduct of their speech.
They inhale good oxygen and give off methane.

Oxygen starvation is not a cure-all. Certain organisms, including pathogenic types, can survive by anaerobic respiration.

Thanks for the laugh.
The phrase Chutney Ferret also comes to mind.
