# The Lucas motto: "Get home before dark."
# Lucas is the patent holder for the short circuit.
# Lucas - Inventor of the first intermittent wiper.
# Lucas - Inventor of the self-dimming headlamp.
# The three position Lucas switch - Dim, Flicker and Off.
# The Original Anti-Theft Device - Lucas Electrics.
# >Lucas is an acronym for Loose Unsoldered Connections and Splices
# Lucas systems actually uses AC current; it just has a random frequency.
# "I have had a Lucas pacemaker for years and have never had any trou..."
# If Lucas made guns, wars would not start.
# A friend of mine told everybody he never had any electric problems with his Lucas equipment. Today he lives in the countryside, in a large manor with lots of friendly servants around him an an occasional ice cold shower...
# Back in the 70's, Lucas decided to diversify its product line and began manufacturing vacuum cleaners. It was the only product they offered which did not suck.
# Q: Why do the British drink warm beer? A: Because Lucas makes their refrigerators
# Alexander Graham Bell invented the Telephone.Thomas Edison invented the Light Bulb. Joseph Lucas invented the Short Circuit.
# Recommended procedure before taking on a repair of Lucas equipment: Check the position of the stars,kill a chicken and walk three times clockwise around your car chanting:" Oh mighty Prince of Darkness protect your unworthy servant.."

The other three switch settings - Smoke, Smolder and Burn.

Did you hear about the Lucas powered torpedo - It sank!

Lucas denies having invented darkness. But they still claim the "sudden, unexpected darkness"

LOL
