was jealous of this gap in my experience, decided to close it by
carefully sticking something metal in outlet. Oh! so that's what he
was talking about.


A relative once thought I got interested in electricity after putting
a finger in a live light socket. Actually that felt like a few hundred
ants crawling around UNDER the skin.
