"Before Electricity"
As the foreman was inspecting the workmen
on site, he was surprised to find one worker
hanging from a rope in the middle of the room
repeating, "I'm a chandelier, I'm a chandelier."
The foreman gives him a stern talking to as the
other men watch and orders him back to work.
During his next inspection of the same room,
again the worker is hanging from the rope doing
exactly what he was told not to. Furious at his
disobedience the foreman fires him on the spot.
To his surprise every worker in the room begins
packing up their tools and leaving.
He stops one worker and says, "Why are all of
you leaving?"
To which the reply is, "You don't expect us to work
without light do you?"

"Static Electricity"
At a company during the winter months the
static buildup due to the dry air from the
heating system was becoming quite a problem.
People and equipment were getting zapped
constantly.
The receptionist was particularly hard hit
as people were handing her stuff all day.
An enterprising engineer decided to connect
a wire with clips on each end from his sock
to his shoe to ground the static. He was
so proud of himself that he went to the
receptionist and proclaimed he had fixed
the static problem.
He then proceeded to walk in circles dragging
his feet to prove that it worked. He reached
his hand toward her to complete the
demonstration. A big blue spark flew from
his hand to her closest body part (her left
breast) and she screamed like a wounded
wolverine. It seems the clip had fallen off
his sock.
