Electrical Safety Tip (of the day)
7-9-07 (A day in someone's life) and a damn Monday !
Never, ever plug a female plug into a male. This is very dangerous because a female does not have the tools required to plug a male. However, plugging a male into a female is perfectly safe and normal. Anyone trying to plug two males together is gay and should get electricuted doing it. If two female plugs are shoved into each other, please contact Rosie O'Donnel for further instructions, and you might end up on her show. This message brought to you by TOD (Tip Of the Day) An affilaite of Ebay where we all know the Shipping and Handling will knock your sox off, thus making your shower more wet and your feet more sexy. |

Electrical Safety Tip (of the day)
I worked part-time at a hardware store when I was in high school. One day a
lady came in and said she wanted an electrical plug... I asked her if she wanted a male plug or a female plug. She asked what was the difference. I blushed and said I would show her. I held up a male plug and said this is a male. Then I held up a female plug and said this is a female plug. She said; Oh I get it!

Receptacles, or outlets, are female. Yes, there are female plugs and male receptacles, but there was little chance that your customer wanted those, or that your hardware store carried them. |

Plugs (as the word itself suggests) are male. Receptacles, or outlets, or sockets or jacks are female. Yes, there are female plugs and male receptacles, What are those? It seems downright impossible, or gay. but there was little chance that your customer wanted those, or that your hardware store carried them. |

How many people would identify a standard extension cord as having or needing one plug and one outlet? Male and female plugs would be pretty normal communication. Rod |

Rod I have never heard anyone say "female plug" unless they meant something that plugs into a female. Toller hasn't explained yet what he meant by female plug and until he does, I'll figure there are none. |

That reminds me of one day this man kept singing about "prong breath", and then explained what "prong" means. Receptacles, or outlets, are female.
