BEST ELECTRICAL JOKE OF THE WEEK?

John Peckham
Good morning fellow forum members.


I was doing an I&T on Friday with one of my merry men, Bob. We were working in a plant room that contained the incoming supply and distribution. The conversation went like this.


JP, " Can you isolate the other end of this circuit to the mortuary so I can do an IR test?

Bob, " That will be a waste of time.

JP "Why?"

Bob. " Because it will be a dead short".

    OK, so you are fitting out a new mortuary, where do you put the luminaire?

    Err a bit of a shot in the dark but, the dead centre?


    No doubt someone will be along with, "people are dying to get in there"?


    Or perhaps "only 2 of you, clearly a skeleton staff".


    Or " How many terminals".

    Nope you are wrong there I think. On my third attempt at reviving someone I was successful, and he was my oldest patient.  Chris P may be able to clarify the if this is technically correct and reversing death is indeed possible?


    For your information and for the avoidance of doubt I am the world's worst first aider and a glowing example of practice does not  make perfect!

    There is a reasonably widely held misconception that cardio-pulmonary resuscitation brings people back from the dead, but in fact it stops people dying at the very last moment. A 1:3 success rate, particularly out of hospital, is most impressive. Well done! ?


    I might add that it is useful to have a defibrillator - electricity can kill, but it can also revive. The nearest one to me right now is at the local church about 300 yards away. Unfortunately, I cannot quite see Mrs P running over there and back within the vital 3 minute window of opportunity should I collapse.


    Back on topic, the churchyard has no graves, so no, a defibrillator has not been installed in a graveyard. ?

    I did work for an organisation part time where we had to say " apparently lifeless body of Mr Smith" as only a doctor could pronounce death even if very obvious.

    Have you thought of equipping Mrs P with a bicycle for emergency use?
