Not to mention, the Model 2000 is very affordable--only $6400. Of
course,
one will need to figure in the about a $1000 fine and a year or so of
vacation time at their favorite prison.

And if one does it in their bare feet....

one ends up doing an excellent impression of Gregory Hines.

Was installing a new ceiling light fixture last night. Didn't bother to
turn off the power at the breaker, just left the wall switch in the "off"
position. My apprentice (seven year old) was helping. I'm pulling the wire
through the slots in the back of the new box, so I had to take the wire nuts
off the bare ends. As I'm tugging on the wires, I hear "Pop, what happens
if I flip this switch...?"

Note to self. Complete instructions to apprentice before beginning work.

(and, no, she didn't ask the question *after* flipping the switch, but
before. Nonetheless, I let go of those wires faster than a hot potato.)
