Jobsite Weaponry

[svaurez]

If your jobsite was attacked by martians,what type of electrical apparatus would you use to defend yourself?

I would grab a 1" bender.

"The Viper" a powder actuated tool with a 10 foot handle that shoots 1/4" pins into cement. :D :D

According to Fustatatus Receptacaules, a very grounded person:

A previous alien discussion mantains:

1- secure water tight service
2- pull your fuses
3- install lightning arrestor in appropriate place
4- ensure line and transformer are big enough to handle the number of martians you plan to use

If they arrive by armoured cable use plan b:
:: While wearing rubber hip boots and holding nose, enable high pressue switch to activate fan and vent the area.
Give boss martian the key to the city. If there is good wind they will not replace all switches before leaving.

I would have Claude Raines direct them to Roswell.

If they attacked some of the sites I've been on, there would be no need to defend myself, as the carpenters will probably offer them a Beer and Party On.

[luke warmwater]

If no carpenters around, grab Lineman pliers. Aren't they the Electrician's Swiss Army Knife??

I would threaten to recalibrate their instruments with the most dangerous tool in the pouch---the trimpot screwdriver...

[bryonb]

Is "martian" a euphemisms for "OSHA inspector?? ;)

[charlie]

Whoa . . . was that there ah putdown to spectors? I know they ain't purfect but then no one is but the utility engineers. In fact, I was told I was a purfect . . . :D Shucks, ah thunk ah broak ma spel checker.

[renosteinke]

I'd just tell them that the inspector was coming....

[jxofaltrds]

If you are up to snuff, fear no one!

Why are any critics a problem?

If it is right it is right.

I welcome anyone telling me I did something wrong. This is not a plumbing problem where it damage something. This is electic. It could kill someone.

That said I have had @$$#ole inspectors.

If you are right--fight. If not change.

[al hildenbrand]

Grab a scrap of EMT and start blowing wirenuts at'em. :D

[tom baker]

Pull string. It will get hung up on anything. They will trip in it.

Why not just throw the CodeBook at them, their resulting confusion should give you plenty of time to do anything else that you want.

:p

I agree with Bill, and Bob may be right about the consequences.

I would just let them do what ever they wanted to do, and then submitt a change order for extensions of time, materials, and extended overhead for the delay. :)
