I can touch my desk lamp with my wooden push stick but until I touch it

I had a lamp like that once. It was great for a week, then, for two more
weeks it went on every time you walked past it. Next, it went on and off
by itself, no need to even walk past it.

I tossed it but am happy it didn't cost me $180 and a days work every
time it misfired:-)


I bought mine in 1986 and still use it. How would you loose a days work?
