Um, dude, that is like a really old joke. I mean, it's not like back when you sold your daughters and ****, the telephone was invented at least, but it wasn't yesterday.

It isn't a joke, people actually did it. You wouldn't believe the
dangerous crap that the service techs would find on customer sites. Of
course, a fool like you would think that a worker being killed by a
spark around a gas leak is funny. Just like the former cable TV
customer who spliced a plug on his dead cable drop and plugged it into
the wall to try to kill someone. Or another who hack sawed into a .750"
hardline and connected lamp cord for an illegal cable drop, then wanted
to sue the cable company for damaging his TV when the 60 VAC modified
sinewave destroyed the tuner.

Just because you turn your offspring into whores, doesn't mean anyone
else does it.
