Does the 2008 NEC specify which way to orient 3-prong outlets?
The tradition seems to be ground on bottom, but I heard it is safer to
have ground on top so falling coins are less likely to short out a loosely
plugged in plug.
Ground down. How often do dropped coins slide down a wall?
Yea, I have a pile of burnt coins on the floor. I'll have to turn my
plugs ground up.
The coins are supposed to go in the fuse box :-)
bwaaaa good one!
