On the funny side to fill up this post..
I was working in a huge industrial plant and was walking down a corridor and notice another welders invertor stick welder, since I was interesting in buying one at the time, and I had never seen one this small, and the workers not around at the time....
I lean over and lift up the front of it to get a better look at it.....
Theres a big "fizzzzz - BANG" from inside the welder.
Oh s--t!
I drop the welder, look about for anyone who may have seen me, theres no one about, so i quickly walk off and kick the extension cord out of its power point and keep walking.
Just as I go outside thru the main door, just outside and I look back thru a crack in the door and see the other worker walk in thru another door......

Boy that was close. That "fizzz-bang" probably cost about NZ$1400....
I'll leave the finger wagging to others. I couldn't stop laughing at this post though. It reminded me of Mr. Bean LOL.
