> ====================
>
> 1. Beware of the lightning that lurketh in an undischarged capacitor,
> lest it cause thee to be bouced upon thy bottom in a most undignified
> manner.
>
> 2. Causeth thou the switch that supplies large quantities of juice to be
> opened, yea, turned firmly off, and thusly tagged, so thy days may be long
> in this world.
>
> 3. Proveth to thyself that all circuits that radiateth, and upon which
> thou worketh are grounded, lest they lift thee to high-frequency potential
> and cause thee to radiateth also.
>
> 4. Take care thou useth the proper method when thou doth take the measure
> of high voltage circuits, so that thou doth not incenerate both thee and
> thy meter, for verily I say unto you: though thou are worthless, having
> no acount number and canst be easily replaced, the meter doth have an
> account number, which will bringeth much woe upon the inventory.
>
> 5. Tarry not amoung those who engage in intentional shocks, for they are
> surely unbelievers, and are not long for this world.
>
> 6. Take care thou tampereth not with interlocks and safety devices, for
> this incurreth the wrath of thy seniors, and bringeth the sound and fury
> of the safety officer down upon thine head and shoulders.
>
> 7. Worketh thee not on energized equipment, for if thou dost, thy buddies
> wilt surely be buying beer without thee, and thy space at the bar will be
> filled by another.
>
> 8. Verily, Verily I say unto thee: never service high voltage equipemnt
> alone, for electric cooking is a slothful process, and thou mayst sizzle
> in thine own fat for hours on end before thy Maker see fit to end thy
> misery and drag thee into his fold.
>
> 9. Trifle thee not with radioactive devices and tubes lest thou commence
> to glow in the dark like unto a lightning bug.
>
> 10. Commiteth thee to memory the works of the prophets, which are written
> in their instruction manuals, for they wilst giveth the straight dope, and
> consoleth thee, and thou wilst maketh no boo-boos.
>
> And the 11th commandment:
>
> 11. Be thou not afraid to asketh stupid questons, for verily they are
> cheaper than stupid mistakes.
