That story reminds me of an electric alarm clock I had in college. The damn thing started going off at random times, but sometimes did not go off at the correct time. It made me late for a number of classes. Money was tight, so I tried to fix it several times, and I would think I had it working. Then it would either wake me up in the middle of the night, or not go off at all. This went on for some time. Finally, it made me miss another class, and a quiz that the professor would not allow me to make up. I took it out dove hunting that evening, and had my buddy throw it into the air by the cord when I said "Pull".

I was never so focused on making a shot. I killed it deader than dead.
