Next time you're being self critical about not doing a job as well as
you think you should have, and worrying about what someone who views
your work will think of you, try looking at some of these.

You'll feel much better after you do so.

I liked the ladder.

We have some step ladders with steps on both sides, rated at 3xx# or such. I'd love to
have some wheels on set of legs so I could just drag/roll it the 400ft across the plant.

Unless there's a sticker saying something like "Caution, not to be used
near water." then the survivor will simply sue the the manufacturer for
a vast sum of money.

Only if it had been in America. As Pete pointed out, that picture is
not from America, since it is 240V equipment.

Long known to be a spoof, there is a wide-angle photo that shows the
power strip is not plugged into anything.
