What's the funniest or dumbest thing you did?

What is the funniest or dumbest HiFi related thing you have ever done?
The dumbest thing I did was to buy a used Nakamichi tape deck. When I could not get it to record consistantly I sent it out to be repaired. When I got it back I realized I was not using it right and it had been working the whole time. I know, I'm not real bright!

I will not go into specifics, but let's just say that much of my "electronics know-how" comes from hands-on experience. Luckily, i've learned from "most" of my mistakes, which is what most of my "experience" has been composed of : ) Sean

How many cantilevers/tone arm leads can you bust off before it's no longer funny, and you're dumb?

The dumbest:
I run 220 and 120VAC gear and once I inadvertedly switched the power. The 220 VAC did not mind much, said it needed VIAGRA, but the 120 gear blew a fuse, to put it mildly and so did I.
The funniest:
Running a tape of Mario Lanza at 30ips, sounded like Spike Jones with the seven dwarfs as chorus.
