    I was "fixing" a neighbor's radio (I'm sure I was), sitting on the
concrete driveway, and of course he had to plug it in....

    I took the wires from a cut off extension cord, and peeled back all but
one strand, plugged it in and scratched the two wire strands together to see
if it would spark.... From down the hall came dad's voice "what's going on
down there"? And of course, the obligatory "nothing".

    All good educational experiences.
