My father was an electrician. One night we got to joking and he told me how he and another of his friend's were going to start their own electrical business together when he was in his early twenties. He told me they discussed using "We plug all your holes" and "We'll remove your shorts!" as slogans for the business. Glad to know I'm not immature for my age.

My step-dad used to be an electrician. His slogan actually was "We'll remove your shorts." It's a small town though, and that humor is familiar.

"Naughty Sockets" sounds like a great band name.

Saw em last week w/ The Breakers. It was meh. Original lineup was better. More power, less restraint. Now their sound is just so...... grounded.

It's their label. They want to shape them into this crowd-pleasing pop act but they're destroying the artistic integrity.

My favorite of their albums is Shark Tickets.

I can't be the only one who read it as "Mom... you do this so well!!!"

I was a bit confused.

[–]cdgtheory 5 points6 points ago

I also read it that way. Was ready to post one of these: ಠ_ಠ

[–]varemia 3 points4 points ago

Exactly what I thought it said. Then I started thinking about male and female ports, but came to the conclusion that the plug would be a male port, so it again makes no sense. Then, I looked closer at the words and realized I was mistaken.

Be careful around those poles or you might end up getting the shocker.

I want to make one of these. Give a new meaning to "Butt Plug".

is this turning you on?

[–]EmeraldGirl 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Does this joke bug the crap out of anyone else because the plug is actually the male component or am I just a bit OCD?

120v AC @ 60hz 20A max. But only 1 upvote.

[–]Tyashi 3 points4 points ago

That's north american standard 15A outlet, sry. 20A is a T-slot

[–]Icovada 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Wait. 120V only 15A? My plugs are all 220v 16A!

UK?

[–]Icovada 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Italy. The UK ones are only 13A. The ones we have over here are the ones with the most amps in the whole world, yet if you use all that power... you also reach the very limit to trip the meter.

[–]Tyashi 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Haha the most amps in the world is a misleading term. Besides, most circuits arent designed to hold full load constantly, they are coded to run at 80% capacity. So for our system, even though our plugs, conductors, and breakers are rated for 15 amps, they are only expected to carry 12 amps or 1440 watts at a time max.

[–]Icovada 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Well yeah I meant our home/office plugs have the highest amp rating. And no, here, if it's 16A, it's 16A.

[–]Tyashi 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

That's bizarre. Usually equipment will be rated for 15 or 16 amps, but unless it is rated for continuous use, is limited to that 80%. Are your plugs and devices rated for continuous use at 16A? The wire, and breakers?

[–]Icovada 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Wires are thick, 3,5mm diameter copper. All plugs are grounded. Pins are 5mm thick. Combined ground fault interrupter and overload breaker are compulsory for every house. I guess that's enough... Besides, only one circuit exits the meter, and my father's shop had to go from a contract maximum of 16A to 35A. All they had to do was change the breaker with a more powerful one.
