I'm No Electrician
I got home to The Lovely Harvey wanting to know which fuse shut off the wall plugs in The Boy's room.
"Why?" I ask, innocently enough.
"A plug broke off in the outlet!"
"Lemme see," I says.
She shows me.
The ground prong of a power strip had snapped off the plug and remained in its hole.
I grabbed a pair of needle nose's and plucked it out with the power still on.
She was shocked, but I explained the ground ain't got no power to it.
We're also surprised that the power strip we were using didn't actually have wires attached to the ground prong.
