4. Hang a "Safety First" sign above the outlet

5. Call the police and report a bomb scare

6. Call the hospital and tell them you'll soon need an ambulance

25. Stand in a pail of water and place your tongue against it to see
what happens

26. Take photos of the electricity leaking out

27. Call your lawyer and sue the manufacturer of the faulty cord

29. Cut off the other prong from the cord and stick it in the other side
