My first experience with electricity occurred when I was 2 and discovered the keys fit perfectly into a 15 amp outlet. Very educational.

My most exciting electrical experience occurred on my fist day on the job in a theater scene shop in Charlottesville VA. I was instructed to move a Table Saw from one room to another. The saw was plugged into a 50amp 240v Nema 15 style outlet mounted upside down (cord tail went up)! As I gingery removed the plug a loose screw dropped inside (as best we could tell while dissecting the slag). [Linked Image] Instantly I had a four inch blue fireball hovering above my hand (seemed like forever). The breaker tripped, the fireball disappeared and I was left with a ring of ash around my thumb and index finger. Aside from scaring the crap out of me, it did no permanent damage. And that was just my first day of work!

It is best for a leader to be both feared and loved. But since this usually cannot be done, it is safer to be feared.
