Barbeque lighting: http://www.mjc.com.au/unclepete/jokes/1165.html (stronger-than-average warning about food/beverages/bathroom/co-workers applies)
Parent website: http://www.mjc.com.au/unclepete/ (warning: frames)

Sadly, the engineer's website referenced in the barbeque lighting tale has been taken down, with a short note left. Evidently the Powers that Be weren't as thrilled as they ought to have been.
