Default House wiring problem

Now days, kids who grow up without electricity. and just
look at them. Baseball hats on sideways, and droopy pants
with underwear showing. Some of them, I'd like to hook them
up to the 220 volts until they shape up.

We lived, somehow, for years with non polarized two prong

We had an Emerson radio with a plasstic case that was
chipped, so the
metal chassis on the bottom touched the metal table that the
radio was
on. The table touched the metal edging around the formica
kitchen
counter, and touching that anywhere along the 10 feet of it
gave a
small tingle. Wouldn't have happened these days.

But otoh, it made me strong. The electricity stimulated
the growth
of dendrites and chest hair, so now I'm the man I am.

I actually don't think it was a big problem, but otoh, for
new
construction all theese changes have cost very little.
