High school.
My buddy Pete has one of those continuous AC electrical outlets on the side
of his desk. You know. Two continuous brass strips in a foot long plastic
housing with two slots, into which you shove the (older two bladed) plug.

Well, one day he needed some line cord, which he ALSO had hanging on the
peg-board on the side of his desk
SO... He reaches around the end...grabs some line cord and proceeds to cut
off a piece with scissors...

Blam! ... notched scissors!

Outlet strip had the same kind of brown, two conductor cord.

My dad tells a story of his days working as a maintenence engineer in
a building where the power was carried along exposed buss bars.
Another worker had a screwdriver in his back pocket and backed into a
buss, blowing himself across the room and leaving a notable set of
scars from the molten screwdriver blade.
