The Ten Commandments for Electricians.
1. Beware of the lightning that lurketh in an undischarged
capacitor, lest it cause thee to be bounced upon thy buttocks in an
ungentlemanly manner.
2. Cause thou the switch that supplyeth large quantities of juice to be
opened and thusly tagged, so that thy days be long in this earthly vale
of tears.
3. Prove to thyself that all circuits that radiate and upon which thou
workest are grounded, lest they raise thee up to high frequency
potential and cause thee to radiate also.
4. Take care that thou usest the proper method when thou takest the
measure of high voltage circuits so not to incinerate both thyself
and thy meter for thou hast no serial number and can be easily replaced,
but the meter doth have one and as a consequence doth bring much woe unto
thine management.
5. Tarry thou not amongst those who deal in intentional shocks, for they
are surely unbelievers and are not long for this earthly vale of tears.
6. Take care that thy tamperest not amongst safety devices, for this will
incur the wrath of thy seniors and bring forth the fury to be visited on
thy head and shoulders.
7. Workest thou not upon energised equipment for if thou doth thy good
friends will surely be buying strong liquor for thy widow and consoling
her in ways not acceptable to thee.
8. Verily I say unto thee. Never service high voltage equipment alone,
for electric cooking is a slothful process and thou mightest sizzle
in thine own fat for hours on end before thy maker sees fit to drag thee
into his fold.
9. Trifle thou not with radioactive tubes and substances lest thou
commencest to glow in the dark like unto a lightning bug, and thy wife be
frustrated nightly and have no further use for thee except for thy wage.
10. Commit thou to memory the works of the prophets which are written on
this scroll of instruction, lest thy destroy forever that which thou
hast been entrusted with.
