Everybody into the pool!

[steved]

Is this an appropriate use of a relocatable power tap?

 

[mdshunk]

I think Joe Tedesco would be all over that.

 

[mdshunk]

It doesn't look like their flip flops kept the power strip out of the water good enough anyhow....

I guess it's a good thing the EU has RCID's on just about everything... On second thought, Darwin might prefer they didn't :wink:

Never mix electricity with alcohol.

The worst of it is they have already lived long enough to reproduce and contaminate the gene pool even further.

Unfortunately, yes. I had a friend go to a res for service and found a homemade receptacle that was mounted in a dish soap container. The guy was sick of going through so many batteries to his portable TV that drifted on a raft next to him in his pool. So, the HO put on his thinking cap. "What about those GFCI thingy dingys? No more trips to get batteries!"

I'll try to find the picture, hold on,.......

Oops. Let me try again.

Oops. Let me try again. Computer dummy:grin:

Gotta love the flip flop floatation system. That took some enginuity!

Anyone know the original source for this? I think it's a put-on. I first saw it yesterday in another forum as a silly discussion on whether or not you could be electrocuted in that situation;

As one of the posters there said, "More beer than brains".

in high school we had a picture of a receptacle in an empty dish soap container that the person used to float on the pool for something
