My favourite explanation was that the live pin of a horizontally installed socket should be up in case the room floods As I recall, there was once a Canadian rule, or a Sask. amendment, that required the neutral up on outdoor receptacles so that any debris that fell into the receptacle box would land on the neutral terminal. Around here, we're in more danger from falling dirt than rising water.
