About a week later, the same carpenter told the next
kid to just go around back of the house, and cut a
meter off. There was a blinding flash, and the saw
stopped. The carpenter went around back of the house,
to find the kid fried to a charred crisp, the sawzall
still stuck in the power drop to the electric meter.

Ah yes, stupidity rules as usual.

Tell your royal dried up old **** that "we the people" had a vote on it and decided to spell it "meter".
