Bad Bob's "Thought for the Week"

[RAM]

Bad Bob's "Second Law of Electrical Apparatus Repair" states:

ALWAYS unplug the apparatus before attempting to repair it.

Once you have broken the First Law of Electrical Apparatus Repair you must NEVER break the second.

While fishing with an electric reel
Might fill your computerized creel
The catch that I seek
Is a Milam & Meek
Made of anodized vanadium steel

[Jerry J in OK]

Here we go again...OK Bad Bob your turn...Jerry

[Steve]

Thoughts inspired by Bad Bob's posting of his Second Law first:

A mender of stuff horological
Pondered things eschatological:
“If Time were reversed
And the Ending came first,”
Thought he, “Rebuilding clocks would seem logical.”

OK Todd

While plugging for bass with Teal
I hooked an electric eel.
"If Bad Bob's Law 2 I obey
I get shocked either way!
I'll get cooked and that's a raw deal!"

To Steve

Using limeric words quite rare
In verses for dummies like me's not fair!
The requirement to look
In unabridged Webster's great book
We word challenged need you to spare!

[RAM]

A new series of verse has begun.
Steve and Todd have already had fun!
But a bit strange it seems
Though they pursue rhyming schemes
Neither has asked about Law 1!

[Steve]

If you want to put on a big spectacle,
And you're itchin' for treatments quite medical,
You should act like a fool
And ignore Bob's first rule:
"Do not try to fix nothin' electrical!"

[john elder]

I'd like to join in this fray,
'bout Bob's muse 'O the day,
I hate to admit it,
but i still just don't git it,
my head hurts.

Electrical stuff is powered by magic smoke

It is what powers the contraptions and that is not joke

I once crossed wires and the magic smoke soon appeared.

It gave me a jolt and threw me on my ear.

So obey bad bobs law of not fixing electrical Apparatus

or you butt will feel like you just sat on a cactus.

[RAM]

If you survive the breach of Law 2
Law 3 awaits such as you!
"The replacement gizmo you buy
Will exceed a repairman's fee (though high)."
Ah! The wages of hubris come due!
