I thought the joke went something like:

Customer (to FS droid): What took you so long, this was an urgent call.

FS droid: Well I had a flat tyre and I changed the other three before I
found the one that was flat...

With apologies to all the good DEC FS guys that I have worked with over the
years (and no apology for the one or two who were worse than useless - the
TE16 on fire being the best (worst?) experience).
