Or this.... When I saw the title, I couldn't help but think of this....

Yes, many times. Not a problem in the larger gauges, #6 and larger with periodic maintainence.

On a brighter, yet somber note....today is VJ Day....81 years ago, the Japanese surrendered unconditionally. Made many, many American soldiers and their families REAL happy and thankful that the slaughter was finally over. Most have passed over to the other side, I hope that they are finally free from the memories of war and reside in peace. God bless all of the American souls that stood against the tyranny so that we could live in the Land of the Free.

Congratulations to you and condolences to her! Just kidding of course....congrats to the both of ya's

This happened about 30+ years ago but I never forgot it. A friend of mine called me and told me "My refrigerator zaps me every once in a while, when I'm not wearing shoes" and asked me to take a look at it. I stopped there on my way home the next day to take a look at the problem, thinking it was probably an appliance problem. It wasn't.... His fridge was about 3' away from his kitchen sink separated by a countertop. I used a Fluke tester to test between the refrigerator skin and the kitchen faucet and read 120 volt. What the hell? The skin of the fridge was electrified to 120 volt. I got my hot gloves out of the truck and pulled the fridge out and unplugged it. The receptacle was a 2-wire receptacle, and he had cut the ground prong off of the fridge cord end. Pulled the receptacle out of the wall and tested it, it had been wired wrong and had reversed polarity which had electrified the skin of the fridge to 120 volt. The house was built in 61 which was right at the end of the era where the cloth covered 'romex" style wire was only two wire with no ground. Fortunately for him, it was the newer style cloth covered 'romex' that had a 16 gauge ground wire that they used to ground the metal box but still used the two wire receptacles. I got a normal 3 wire receptacle out of the truck, installed a bond jumper between the box and the receptacle and corrected the reversed polarity problem, problem solved. If he or his girlfriend had been touching the kitchen faucet and grabbed the fridge door at the same time, they would have got 120 volt right across the chest which would have resulted in probable injury or possibly could have been fatal.

I think the punishment should be sentencing to 6 months in the MCIEAST regional brig at Camp Lejeune with supervised release to clean the toilets of the camp every day and then returned to the brig and a $100,000 fine.

If the receptacle in your bathroom is a two prong receptacle, I highly suggest changing it to a GFI receptacle. The two prong receptacle and the age of the house indicate that no ground exists at the receptacle. Changing it to a GFI will NOT provide a ground but will trip immediately if a hot to ground, hot to neutral or neutral to ground is present. No offense Alpo but a professional electrician is suggested as getting a GFI receptacle in an old metal box can be difficult and to assure that the GFI is wired properly and tested.

To answer the question, I would remove the receptacle and re-install it ground down. National Electric Code does not have any code as to the "correct" position (ground up or down) of a receptacle, either way is considered "correct". Most receptacles installed in residential locations are normally installed ground down. Many, but not all, industrial and medical locations are installed ground up. In other words, there is no "upside down". The reasoning for the ground up orientation is so that something sliding down the wall into a cord that is only partly plugged in, it will contact the ground instead of contacting both neutral and ground. During my 45 years as an electrician, I never installed receptacles ground up unless directed by the plans/specs to do so. Even then, that was almost always in a medical location and a few industrial/commercial locations. Chicken Rustler - European receptacles are 2 - pin, 220 volt receptacles. The pins are round and the cord ends have a protective, non conductive area closest to the cord that prevents accidental contact with items that may slide down the wall.

When I was growing up, we had a 65...that heater would flat cook ya outta there! It wasn't a necessity in Florida though.

You guys sure do write funny!

I like that!

Cool thing about the rifle is that it loads like a normal lever rifle. Load thru the gate into the tube, lever into the action, fire, open/eject and repeat. Just can't do it over hard surfaces. The action has a very clunky feeling, not unlike an actual new Win 94 of the time

My Dad had a pair of them and he practiced with them shooting Gunfighter style. When he passed, we looked for them but couldn't find them, all we found was bb's on the floor. My sister probably got them. I did find a Umarex "Legends" lever action rifle with the cartridges and box. I scrounged up some CO2 and tried it out, it was a lot more powerful than I thought it would be. I'm probably going to sell the rifle as I don't need it but I have to imagine that shipping costs will be prohibitive. Photo from the internet

Probably only took about 3 months to do it too. Virginia Creeper is almost as bad.

Do yourself a favor and throw that on the burn pile or sell it to get it off your property. If you sell it,make sure whoever buys it takes it far, far away.

Seriously? No offense Cider, but an RO refresher course is in order.

Good to see you again Loophole!

Heard this one today on Sirius. Brought back memories of love had....and lost.

Purt sure that the rumors of the demise of the '97 are just that.
