10 Commandments for Technicians
|
||
|
||
|
||
I. Beware the lightning that lurketh in the undischarged
|
||
capacitor, lest it cause thee to bounce upon thy
|
||
buttocks in a most un-technician-like manner.
|
||
|
||
II. Cause thou the switch that supplieth large quantities
|
||
of juice to be opened and thusly tagged, that thy
|
||
days in this earthly veil of tears may be long.
|
||
|
||
III. Prove to thyself that all circuits that radiateth and
|
||
upon which thou workest are grounded and thusly
|
||
tagged, lest they lift thee up to radio frequency
|
||
potential and causeth thee also to make like
|
||
a radiator.
|
||
|
||
IV. Tarry not amongst those fools who engageth in intentional
|
||
shocks for they are surely non-believers and are not
|
||
long for this world.
|
||
|
||
V. Take care that thou useth the proper method when thou
|
||
takest the measure of a high voltage circuit, lest
|
||
thou incinerate both thyself and thy meter, for
|
||
verily, though thou hast no account number
|
||
and canst be easily surveyed, thy test
|
||
meter doth have one and, as a con-
|
||
sequence, bringeth much woe
|
||
unto the supply depot.
|
||
|
||
VI. Take care that thou tampereth not with safety devices and
|
||
interlocks, lest thou incurreth the wrath of thy
|
||
instructor and bringeth the fury of thy
|
||
instructor upon thy head.
|
||
|
||
VII. Work thou not with energized equipment, for if thou dost,
|
||
thy fellow students will surely buy beers for thy
|
||
spouse, who liveth, (and consoleth them in other
|
||
ways).
|
||
|
||
VIII. Trifle thou not with radioactive tubes and substances, lest
|
||
thou commence to glow in the dark like a lightning bug
|
||
and thy spouse have no further use fo thee except
|
||
thy wages.
|
||
|
||
IX. Causeth thou not to make unauthorized modifications to
|
||
equipment, lest thou arrange to have recorded all field
|
||
changes and authorized mods made by thee, that thy
|
||
successor shall not tear his hair and go
|
||
slowly mad in his attempt to decide what
|
||
manner of cretin hath made such a
|
||
mess in the wiring of such
|
||
equipment.
|
||
|
||
X. Be thou cautious in the placing of thy digits into such
|
||
equipment that would cause thee to sorely lament the
|
||
loss of thy greatest sexual appendage.
