That picture brings back some memories....

Arkansas..1960s..Grandparents house..Game of operation..no batteries..brother stuck the tweezers in the electric socket. And the nose turned red and made a pop sound. He did it two or three more times with the same results and then put the game up.
I wasn't satisfied with that so, I took it down and did it again. Blew the fuse for the whole block. Uncles had to climb the telephone pole and repair it.

Nashville late 1990's....Daughter sticks something metal in the electric socket and gets shocked. Not hurt bad, but I remember that sick feeling in my stomach and thinking, "How could I not have taught her not to do that already."
