Consult a qualified electrician, who will carry out the test using portable test equipment and certify the result.

1. Obtain an erection by looking at illegal copies of Home and Gardens.

2. Try to stick *it* into the ground.

3. If the ground resists your advances then it has resistance.

if not, well then youre a happy taliban.
