Has anyone ever figured out why they put one wide and one narrow on a

Because there is only one company that makes the plugs, and it's
cheaper to make just one kind of plug and send it out to everyone than
to make two kinds of plugs and keep track of who is buying what type
of plug.

Nice try...

A quick scan of my office shows at least 5 different kinds of 2 prong
plugs.

Granted, some of the plugs are at least a few months old so that one
company may have bought everyone out since then...

I kid because I care.
