Friday Wisdom – Hiring an Electrician

Posted on 07/07/2017 by Andrew Reynolds

When hiring an electrician always ask this question:

“How many times have you been shocked on the job?”

The correct answer is: “Once”

More wisdom next Friday.

    He mightn’t be the brightest bulb if he’s been shocked more than once! 😀 😀 😀

    An excellent question! I got zapped pretty good once as a kid and as a result I’m almost afraid to change a lightbulb. LOL! But I was only zapped once!

    Great post which made me think. I hired an electrician. He promised to appear LIVE.
    He didn’t turn up. He must have gone to EARTH. Was I annoyed ? No … I felt NEUTRAL about the whole thing.

    Lorelie Sims, a well known blacksmith, was asked one day if she has ever been burned. She answered “Yes, but I eventually got over him.”

      Yup, once, meaning he learned from the experience and is a careful worker. More than once, he is a sloppy worker who doesn’t pay attention. And saying never is a lie, all good electricians have touch the wrong wires at least once.

    I know two things about electricity. It’s invisible and it’ll kill you. I figure that’s all I need to know. Lol.
