Fly?  All the way back?  *tee hee*

About 20 years ago I was changing a ballast in the office where I worked at the
time. (I got tired of working in the dark while waiting for the maintenance
department to get around to visiting me.)  Just when I was in the midst of
removing the old ballast, someone walked in and switched the light on.

The next thing I know, I'm sitting on the floor in the corner, and my arm is
numb.

I learned my lesson -- always put a piece of tape over the light switch when
doing that!
