Trader summed it up nicely. If you have the polarity swapped on your
toaster, the switch is opening the neutral and when you stick the fork
in there to get the bagel out, it will light you up.


That Stormin guy said much the same. The toaster
shell should either be isolated, or grounded.

I read once toaster shells aren't grounded because of
what could happen if people hit the heating element pushing
the toast down. Forks? Knives?

People who stick metal forks, knives, etc into toasters, should be sent
to the electric chair, because they are too stupid to deserve to be
alive!
