Reminds me of a fantastic moment in last week's Car Talk.

One of the callers was having trouble with the blower motor relay in his car. He couldn't get the A/C to work unless he opened the hood and thwacked the blower motor relay. Despite having replaced the relay three times.

Tom and Ray suggested that it might not have been the relay at all, and that he might have had a bad fan switch in his dashboard. They suggested, instead of opening the hood, taking off his shoe and thwacking the dashboard.

At that point they were already joking about the mystical aspects of his problem (maybe just opening the hood and looking at it would be enough), so he asked them if there were any magical chants he should say while thwacking the dashboard with his shoe.

Barely able to speak through is laughter, Ray told him that he should say "we will bury you!"
