Ten Commandments for Technicians




BACK TO THE JOKES

  1. Beware The Lightning That Lurketh In The Undischarged Capacitor, Lest It Cause Thee To Bounce Upon Thy Buttocks In A Most Un-Technician Like Manner.

  2. Cause Thou The Switch That Supplieth Large Quanitities Of Juice To Be Opened And Thusly Tagged, That Thy Days In This Earthly Vale Of Tears May Be Long.

  3. Prove To Thyself That All Circuits That Radiateth And Upon Which Thou Worketh Are Grounded And Thusly Tagged Lest They Lift Thee To Radio Frequency Potential And Causeth Thee To Make Like A Radiator, Too.

  4. Tarry Not Amongst Those Fools That Engageth In Intentional Shocks For They Are Surely Non-Believers And Are Not Long For This World.

  5. Take Care That Thou Useth The Proper Method When Thou Takest The Measure Of A High-Voltage Circuit Lest Thou Incinerate Both Thyself And Thy Meter, For Verily, Though Thee Has No Account Number And Can Easily Be Surveyed, The Test Meter Doth Have One And, As A Consequencce, Bringeth Much Woe Unto The Supply Department.

  6. Take Care Thou Tampereth Not With Safety Devices And Interlocks, For This Incurreth The Wrath Of The Supervisor And Bringeth The Fury Of The Safety Inspector Upon Thy Head And Shoulders.

  7. Work Not On Energized Equipment, For If Thou Dost, Will Thy Fellow Workers Surely Buy Beers For Thy Widow And Console Her In Other Ways.

  8. Service Not Equipment Alone, For Electrical Cooking Is A Slothful Process And Thou Might Sizzle In Thine Own Fat For Hours Upon A Hot Circuit Before Thy Maker Sees Fit To End Thy Misery.

  9. Trifle Thou Not With Radioactive Tubes And Substances Lest Thou Commence To Glow In The Dark Like A Lightning Bug And Thy Wife Have No Further Use For Thee Except Thy Wages.

  10. Thou Shalt Not Make Unauthorized Modifications To Equipment, But Causeth Thou To Be Recorded All Field Changes And Authorized Modifications Made By Thee, Lest Thy Successor Tear His Hear And Go Slowly Mad In His Attempt To Decide What Manner Of Creature Hath Made A Nest In The Wiring Of Such Equipment.
