Well, I should say it's not funny to me. There's no end to the amusement I generate for spectators.

I can't see what suggestion was posted but I often use short lengths of vacuum tubing between plug wire and coil then use a test light from ground to the vacuum hose. I am also likely to use a grounded test light at the end of the spark plug boot if I choose to disconnect the plug wire while the engine is running.
