Deja vu all over again!

That would be 'deja poo' - the feeling you've stepped in this before?

Thank god for the insulating tarp.

or ground leakage?

If it was a leakage it was not only water but would make the ground better!

He was sure he read on CR4p that wetting the Earth makes it more conductive therefore he had not to switch off the mains when working on the outdoor wall socket.

Hey now I'm Polish and that's true.

Your Polish, that great... I always carry a spare Polish digital voltmeter in my toolbox, cause they tend to burn out quickly.

That is highly offensive to Polish people, and I happen to be half-polish on my mother's side.

So of course I gave you a GA on this one. The best jokes are going to offend SOMEONE, live is all about learning not to take things personally when there is no personal attack intended.

I know I don't like Wagner. Every time I hear Wagner I have this irresistible urge to invade Poland.

I LOVE Wagner, which is why I tend to like any music Jim Steinman writes (He wrote the songs for Bat out of Hell and Bat out of Hell 2, his style is best describes as 'Wagner Rock' or Vag-rock for short. (pronounced with the G as in Gate, not as in the anatomy part it seems to be spelling out)). The problem is that that music makes me want to invade my own room, then complain about what I'm doing. (Half Polish, Quarter German, Eighth British, and Eighth Swedish. "You can always tell a Swede, but you can't tell him much.")

Of a truth, I do like Wagner - and invading Poland! (if only to procure some genuine, fresh-made pączki!)

I LOVE those.

The problem is, after eating them, you've got to spend 40 days thinking about how much of a pig you were for eating so many.

(Wonder how many people will get the reference.)

I sorry adreasler, but I'm only looking for one Polish digital voltmeter.

But I'll keep you in mind when Stuey burns out.

btw,..... what's the other half?..... because I'm also looking for a good Swiss watch.

The other half is half-German, and the other half of that is half-British, half-Swedish.

I'd say more, but I already used my Swedish joke in this thread, and I don't repeat myself.

("what?")

I said I already used my Swedish joke in this thread, and I don't- Oooooh! You little whippersnapper! (shakes imaginary cane angrily)

When you talk to yourself, which language do you prefer?

Do the others object?

Do they even know what you're saying?

When you send Christmas cards, do you sign them 'Wesołych Świąt od nas wszystkich' or 'God Jul från oss alla' or 'Frohe Weihnachten von uns allen' or 'Merry Christmas from all of us'?

Have you ever been at war with yourself (or would like to, if only for reasons of Global Domination)?

When you argue with yourself, do you require a translator?

When you take a shower, do you refer to it as an 'ethnic cleansing'?

Oh, trust me, you do not want to go probing in the dark corners of my psyche, there are some 'bad neighborhoods' in there that scare even me, even though I know that the only thing I'll find inside my own skull is myself.

OK, this is a residence only 240 1ph to deal with. No problem. Larry! Turn off CB 11

so I'm not fried while wading in the water here. Curly, start the pumps.

should be ok...at least I am wearing rubber boots....

"Dryball's Electrical Repair Service"

When Buba screamed and jumped out of the hole we thought he had been zapped with 240v. Turns out he sat back and got nipped in the bud by his own wire snips.

AWESOME!

When People say that 'Jim the Electrician' was well grounded person... I pictured a whole different meaning...

Typical Electrician apprentice:

Insulated brain, grounded arse.

I was always told a professional needed to be "Well Grounded" in his field.

Not sure if this is what they meant though.....

"Good evening folks, and welcome to our newscast.

"Leading off tonight is our own Sparky Anderson with yet another piece of good news: The average intelligence of America rises a small percentage, as we are about to see in this shocking example of Darwinism in action."

Let's see now:

"Hot on the left,cold on the right...naw,naw, that was my plumbing job."

"Lefty loosie, righty tighty...?nah, that was my mechanic job."

"Something about a bold electrician and an old electrician,but can't remember it right now."

"Oh well, it will come to me eventually"

There was a fizzing noise, then a flash, and all they found was a pair of smoking boots.

Thank goodness for my rubbers

Now we know...

Spade #1, Spade #2, or Spade #3...

Let's see what your lucky prize is...

Did you say your electrician wanted $200 to do this? It's a piece o' piss, i'll do it for $50.

"I see your problem rite dare ,Vern...it's dis loose warrrrrrrrrrr!"

Some young electricians were putting a new service panel in an old house. When they energized it things started smoking. they had managed to feed 220 to the 110 volt circuits. They couldn't figure out what went wrong. I told them I had just read in "Wiring Simplified" that old houses would have a fuse on the neutral conductor. They ignored me. they called their boss and he came out. Then he told them exactly the same thing.They had hooked every wire that went to a fuse to a hot lead thus putting 220 volts down the 110 lines.

following the sparky's colour code.... Red to Red, Green to Green and Blew to bits!!

no problem I have rubber soles on my sneakers!

Just had to repost this one:

Heaven is where...

The police are British
The cooks are Italian
The lovers are French
The mechanics are German
And it's all organized by the Swiss

Hell is where...

The cooks are British
The mechanics are French
The lovers are Swiss
The police are German
And it's all organized by the Italians

Personally, I like it especially because I am English, Irish, Welsh, Scottish, Swiss, French, German and Swedish, and I have a sense-of-humor about it, GA!!!

(and have occasionally had my behavior as that of a ''closet-Italian''...)

"Snap, Crackle and Drop"

I wonder why they call these "Knockouts"?

Anyway,now there's enough room for the garden hose bib.

The first Grounding (leg in water) and bonding (fingers on tool) attempt by bubba.

There once was a man from Nantucket

He always kept one foot in a bucket

Played with the wires

Next saw HELLS fires

All that was left was the bucket!

If "A picture is worth a thousand words", is this verbal or printed words?

How much would a picture be worth if one could not read or hear?

A person was hit by lightning here recently. It blew his shoes off. They were found across the driveway. He was OK.

It's just a normal "Hillbilly volt meter".
