Somewhat Typical Conversation with Dad

Matt:  OK, so I have the wiring box out of the outlet.  What now?

Dad:   You’re gonna wanna clip the end and strip about an inch of clean wire off.

Matt:  You know, it occurs to me.  You never once mentioned that I should turn this circuit off at the breaker box.

Dad:  So?  You’ve got leather work gloves, right?

Matt:  Yeah, but…

Dad:  They’ll impede about 600 volts, so don’t worry about it.  Jeeze.
