The First Arena crowd was electric near the end of the game, as Elmira killed off a five-on-three situation in the first two minutes of overtime.

Now can you use 'electricity' in a sentence?

Smile It's Smoke of Course
Electricity is obviously a very fine type of smoke that can pass through the molecular structure of metals and other conductors. It's obvious since anytime you let the smoke out of the wire (the electricity), then everything quits working.

I can. But then I am a consulting engineer, and you would have to hire my company to get the answer from me.

"Electricity": That curious blue spark that travels from the drinking fountain to one's lips when the bonding screw is left in the neutral bar of the remote panelboard.

I remember years ago, I went to drink water from the fountain at a movie theater, and, knowing that I get zapped in the winter, I was careful to touch only the plastic knob.

(I can still picture the off-white plastic knob with "EBCO" etched in it.)

I'll never forget the zap I got on my lips. POW! Lesson learned.
