Default Story of my lil sis and her husband

Sorry not truck related, but worth sharing anyways.

The kitchen lights go out one night. All circuit breakers are flipped off and back on but still no luck. I told them to use a voltmeter, but they didn't have one so they picked up a test light with the instructions to connect the black wire to a good ground, and use the test light to check each breaker for power. I'm not sure whose bright idea it was, but they decided the bicycle sitting next to the circuit breaker was a good ground.

Well the chocolate lab was of course curious and standing right next to them watching, and her tail happened to be touching the bicycle. You can probably guess what happened when my bro in law checked the first breaker, the dog and little sis got a nice jolt as the electricity searched for a ground. I guess the dog ran for the hills and wasn't very curious for another hour or so. They gave up and called an electrician, who had to replace a breaker..

Anyways I am still laughing about this and it has been a couple weeks now. I thought you guys might get a chuckle as well. Happy Superbowl Sunday all.

LOL poor dog! They're lucky nobody got hurt though, beyond flipping breakers on or off nobody should be messing around in the breaker box unless they know exactly what they're doing.
