I tried to post this to earlier but it hasn't shown up yet so I thought I
made an error so I'm trying again-sorry for a 2nd post if the first shows
up after all.

I need to find the circuit breaker for two outlets (2 breakers if the two
outlets are on different ones). I know where the box is ( I think) but not
which breaker is it.

What are the risks if I short out the outlet to find the breaker?
Reasonable risks, not "blowing up the city" risks.

What would be the best way to do this? I'm not going to hold a paperclip
and stick it in both slots. I was thinking of a plug and cord with the two
wires connected together and taped, but is there a better way?
