TEN COMMANDMENTS
                           of ELECTRONICS


1)   Beware the lightening that lurketh in the un-discharged capacitor, lest it
cause thee to bounce upon thy buttocks in a most un-workman-like manner.

2)   Causeth thou the switch that supplieth the large quantities of juice to be
opened and thusly tagged, so that thy days in this earthly vale of tears may be
long and fruitful.

3)   Proveth to thyself that all circuits that radiateth and upon which thou
worketh are grounded and thusly tagged, lest they lifteth thee to radio
frequency and causeth thee also to radiateth.

4)   Tarry thou not amongst the foolish heathen that engageth in intentional
shock, for they are non-believers and surely are not long for this world.

5)   Taketh thee care that thou useth the proper methods when thou takest the
measure of the high voltage circuits, lest thee incinerate both thyself and thy
meter. For verily, although thou hast no account number, thy meter does, and the
loss thereof will bringeth much woe upon the head of the department manager.

6)   Tamperest thou not with the interlocks and safety devices for this will
surely bringeth the wrath of the Safety Inspector upon thy head.

7)   Workest thou not upon the energised equipment, for if thou do, thy buddies
will surely buy beers for thy widow and consoleth her in diverse other ways not
wholly acceptable unto thee.

8)   Serviceth thou not thy equipment alone, for electrical cooking is a
slothful process, and thou might sizzle for hours on end before thy maker see
fit to end thy misery.

9)   Triflest thou not with the radioactive sources, lest thou cometh to glow in
the dark, yea like unto a lightening bug, and thy wife have no further use for
thee except thy wage.

10)  Causeth thou to be scribed all the modifications madeth by thee upon any
equipment, lest thy successor teareth his hair asunder and go slowly mad in his
attempts to determineth what manner of creature hath wrought such a nest within
said equipment.
