You may think it is a joke but it does happen.

In a caving hostel where we used to stay the 'fuse' was a 4" nail

One of the guys I know fitted a bolt in place of a fuse and let the smoke out of his wiring loom, once he blew the flames out and taped it back up he had to to refill it with the Lucas kit!!

Now't wrong with a 4" nail if it is used for what it was intended, i.e. joining bits of wood together.

I do not think it comes within the design specification for it to be used as a 30 amp fuse. Nor do I think it conforms to part 17 electrical regulations!
