You are aware, are you not, that:
A. Grounding plugs/outlets are of somewhat recent vintage.
B. All old electrical appliances and many new appliance do not HAVE
grounding connections.
C. Outlets/plugs in Britain and other parts of the world do not accommodate
grounding connectors (i.e., they are of the two-pin variety).
On the other hand, grenades come with only two safety devices: A safety pin
and a safety handle. These are almost always adequate to permit safe
handling. Grenades could be distributed in a locked box with the key kept by
the company sergeant in a safe whose combination is known only to the
company clerk, but the layering-on of additional safety regimes would
prevent their timely and effective use when a crazed virgin-seeker is about
to jump in your foxhole.
When presented with a three-prong toaster, a two-prong outlet, and an urgent
need for a PopTart, I know what I'm gonna do!
Eat it raw?
