When I was a little kid in day care, I remember that there was this switch
plate on the wall that had a hole in it.  I always wondered just _what_
that hole was for...  It was just big enough for me to put my finger into,
so that my finger made good contact with the side of the hole.  I did this
on several occasions, each time sticking my finger in deeper... and deeper...
and deeper... and BZZZZZZTTT!  I got the first 120V shock of my life!  No
burns or anything, but I knew damn well I was never going to put my fingers
into unmarked holes again!

Thinking about it much later, I realized that the thing must have been a
light bulb base for a night light or something.  The day care should have
had the hole taped shut or something, but they probably didn't know what
it was either.

Oh well...
