I know this may be a little off-topic, but talking of "are we this stupid?"....
A customer the other week complained that she was getting a moderate electric shock off the shower head.
I asked her to explain the background to this story. She told me that her son got a shock off the shower head, followed by her daughter a week later. They complained to their Mum, who went into the bathroom and promptly grabbed hold of the shower head - nothing.
"No, Mum," said the kids, "you've got to take off your shoes and socks and get wet for it to happen."
You'll never guess in a million years what she did next....!!
Now. If your kids complained they got a fairly bad electric shock off something, would YOU follow suit?
