Patrick F. MacManus as a funny story about hooking up trailer lights if I recall correctly... Tried to find it on the 'net but could not.

I know the story you're talking about. Its a real side splitter.
I think one line was something like:
"There is, of course, a finite number of wrong combinations of wire connections/colors. That number is 24,458,441." (or some other huge number).
I also have a dim recollection of him explaining why hooking up trailer lights is the leading cause of divorce in America...
Anyway, definitely a funny story and one I wish I could share here, but somebody borrowed all of my Patrick F. MacManus books! Wish I could recall who!
