So Dave, if you ever find yourself in the USA working with me on the factory floor and you turn to me and ask, "Say, mind if I borrow your Fluke 87 IV so I can take some measurements?" Please don't be offended if I decline! :-)

Dave, how about going the other way--take it scuba-diving on the Great Barrier Reef? It might be interesting to see how it responds to saltwater at a significant depth.
