An Electricians Life

Post by airboatr »

Got a call from a nice lady asking me to come to her condo. When I got there it was dark and she asked if I
would be needing a flashlight.

I told her, " No ma'am we electricians do our best work in the dark"

I then proceeded to fix her shorts.

The End

you know Garry, I'm glad you asked me that question

It is very important to have a proper fitted insulator on the working cable

just out of curiosity, what sort of insulation do you use, and does it have to be water proof :help: :S :worried: :dunno: :wasntme:

A bit of lube works wonders for feeding the cable into the conduit :wasntme:
