And the OP would have been 39 years old now if he hadn't tried changing
the door bell without turning off the power.

That's why we're having this memorial thread.

There's a TV show called "Married With Children" where Bud works on a
doorbell button that is not actually off ('o'-something), and it makes

LOL

Just for the record, for later readers, yes, you don't have to turn of
the 12 or 18 volts used for a doorbell.

Just don't put the wires in your mouth!
