The most impressive thing I ever saw when young was watching this old guy
diagnose a poorly running tractor. He listened for a bit, picked up a short
branch, proceeded to set it on various parts of the engine with the other end
against his forehead.
He proclaimed a bad bearing on whatever cylinder, and later that afternoon he
pulled it out to show all. I thought he was a god.
