All outlets must be replaced by 2012
 

A new law just went into effect in the electrical codes. By the end
of 2011. December 31, 2011, all electrical outlets will be required
to be replaced in every home, garage, shed, barn and commercial
business building. This includes common 15A and 20A 120V outlets, as
well as all 240V outlets and any others. Excluded are GFCI types.
The new outlets will look and work just like those currently in use,
except the new outlets will have a green and black, glowing Mister
Yuck logo on them. Anyone caught without the Mister Yuck logo on any
outlet will be fined and or imprisoned, not to exceed $10,000 and/or 5
years PER OUTLET. Children associate Mister Yuck with bad things,
thus they will not touch outlets with this logo on them.

Also stated in this law, it says that all outlets MUST be replaced by
a licensed electrician, and no homeowners, or other non-licensed
persons can change them, because the Mister Yuck outlets require
special handling in order that Mister Yuck's face is upright during
installation, as these faces will not be allowed if installed
upsidedown, because children will not associate them if they are
reversed. These new outlets will become available to electricians
beginning November 1, 2010. They will ONLY be sold to electricians
and will not be available to the general public.

It's estimated that the average homeowner will pay from $400 to $1200
per home to replace these outlets. A program is being initiated to
assist low income and the elderly, offering them a 10% discount.

Note: All outlets MUST be the approved and stamped Mister Yuck outlets
with the florescent glow in the dark Mister Yuck face. Stickers,
Labels, and Drawings will NOT be acceptable. Electricians installing
the Mister Yuck outlets will assign a code number to each outlet so
that every outlet in every home is accounted for. Once this code
number is assigned, each outlet cover will be locked to prevent anyone
from othering the electrical box except a certified Mister Yuck
approved electrician. This law effects every home in the United
States of America. Each completed installation will include the
official Mister Yuck electrical cartoon guide for children. Parents
are advised to read these books to their children. Schools around the
country will be required to have Mister Yuck day, where all elementary
school children will learn about Mister Yuck.

Now I understand! I was wondering why small children would run screaming
from me at times then climb all over me like a jungle gym at other
times. It's my Mister Yuk T-shirt and not the constant drooling. Wow!
Who would have thunk it? _

A man in Collier County, Florida was put on trial for "illegal"
netting of black mullet.

His attorney persuaded the jury that a black mullet was a fowl and
not a fish. Explained it had a gizzard, when it jumped from the water
-- it was trying to fly.

As trolls go it was pretty lame, and it tells us more about paranoia among
the populace than it does about regulations.

However, I have seen some fire extinguishers that were very ordinary,
but with flammability ratings.

There is also the upcoming incandescent lightbulb ban, with a huge set
of loopholes (exemptions) including a couple for 110-130V incandescents of
usual shapes, sizes, bases, and wattages but being of some types that
have even less energy efficiency than the ones targeted by the ban
(traffic signal, rough service/vibration service).

I have a list of exceptions from USA's upcoming incandescent lamp ban

"A new law just went into effect in the electrical codes. By the
end of 2011."

I want to thank the OP for placing the grammatical errors right at the
beginning of the post. At least I knew right up front that the rest
of the post was going to be a load of crap.

"Also stated in this law, it says that all outlets MUST be
replaced by a licensed electrician, and no homeowners...can change
them"

Does that mean that only licensed electricians that live in an
apartment or are homeless can change them? That's going to cause a
"supply and demand" problem as I'm sure the number of non-homeowning
licensed electricians is fairly limited.

"...Mister Yuck outlets require special handling in order that
Mister Yuck's face is upright during installation..."

Well, at least we'll finally get an answer to the question that been
troubling us for years: Ground prong up or down? This ought to settle
it once and for all.

"...each outlet cover will be locked to prevent anyone from
othering the electrical box..."

I believe that "othering an electrical box" is already illegal in most
states.

Would you want the health dept. to stop inspecting local restaurants? How
about no more building codes? Or no noise bylaws so your neighbor can blast
his stereo all night long?

It is the nature of bureaucracies to come up with ever more rules and
regulations, and some of them are bound to be poorly written if not
downright pointless. But that doesn't mean they are *all* worthless, some
of them are pretty good to have around. And much of that warning label
silliness isn't due to regulations, it's because some lawyer stung a
manufacturer's insurance company for umpteen million dollars and now
everybody has to have a label warning us not to take the toaster oven into
the bathtub.
