As usual, wires get crossed whenever the gooberment is involved.

The final phase of their vehicle electrification project, three intrepid GCOT PakiGrads form the first - and last - human pantograph.

That is sick, disgusting, offensive, insulting ...

... so of COURSE I gave it a GA.

Vlaad,

I told you it's safe. The rubber tyres mean that we are not earthed, provided no-one tries to get onto the bus.

Jockheim,

Did you just feel a little tingle?? Maybe the steel radials are a bit worn.

"Yea... I suppose it might work, but next time: just remember the jack."

If we're going to sacrifice virgins, we really need to get us a volcano...and maybe some virgins.

Point of order! Point of order! The motion was tabled until someone gets the fire started!

Happy hour at the bus bar.

Foreign nationals compete for inclusion into local road to zero coalition.

Mr Tesla said we will be able to transmit enough electricity via radio waves to drive a bus or a train .

We can use the wire above as an areal for good reception.

"Maybe if you get all three wires we'll go three times as fast..."

Ok,Curly,Larry and I will hold the ladder,and you go check for voltage.

Sure Moe,No problem.

Please visit Blighty for tech advice.

What an interesting conveyance!

It confabulates all concepts of electricity. Remains of the track can still be seen. As Noel Coward writ, 'only mad dogs....'

Regular grounded rails wish they had it so good! Seawater makes a fabulous ground - as long as you're not part of the circuit!

Just how many pins are there on a socket outlet in America ? Who needs the flippin' Earth, let alone the evil way a circuit is made safe before going live..

Well that depends on how any appliances that's needs to be plugged in..

That sort of resembles my computer, though not as bad.

Back in the 60's I visited my dad aboard the ship he was working on. The number of plugs strapped into just one outlet looked like a stange Christmas tree. It must have broken every regulation and then some. Given that it was an oil tanker, I was more than happy to get off ! The whole lot was fizzing and buzzing.

These fellows could not find an outlet for their curiosity about electric power, so they made one - all the way to ground.

Their first hint this was not going to work for transportation came only a few short cycles later.

Waaaait a minute! Maybe we should contract this out, yes???...

Hey Ralph, did you say contact this? (smoke released)

Yes; when I started my business, all I had was a bicycle and myself.

Now look at me: I'm employing two other guys and a coach for a work truck.

Someday, Timmy, all of this will be yours.

This will work until we get WiFi.

OK,students today's first lesson in high voltage:

Always keep one hand in your pocket when working on high voltage.

You forgot a detail: it's 'always keep your left hand in your pocket when working on high voltage.' That way the current running deep has a better chance of missing your heart, since the heart is just left of center.

(Of course, with the "arc flash protection gear" that is being mandated when working on anything over 50V, all this becomes moot: you can't FIT a hand into a pocket with those thick protective gloves. It also becomes hard to do things such as turn a screwdriver to secure a wire to a screw terminal, however that's the price we pay for 'safety.' 'Safety,' in this case means 'too many complete MORONS were electrocuting themselves on job sites, and finding ways to create Arc Flash Events in common 110/220 breaker panels, so now we have to prevent these 'breathing zombies' from earning more well-deserved Darwin Awards.')

Too many unqualified personnel in the immediate hazard zone. Minus one point, minus another point for not wearing safety gear, minus two points for no lockout tag out, and plus one point for style. That still leaves three in the hole.

Thus the phrase "throw him under the bus" came to pass
