Girls who do electrical work are hot……..

3 way switches are not hard to figure out. Think of them as a railroad track switching yard.

Google is your friend… http://www.the-home-improvement-web.com/information/how-to/three-way-switch.htm has colored diagrams , very easy to walk through.

Buy cheap tools only so when others need to borrow something, you can loan them out and leave the good stuff alone.

Hey, kathaclysm: It’s more like three-way switches *confuse* the fuck out of you.

You’d surely be the one to dispose endless unsolicited information on tools, you know with being one yourself.

I read the rest of the comment dribble but to respond to it would be like replying to the WW2 vet who talks to his Pepsi can on the bus.

I find the term “homosexual ass” offensive.

I prefer (depending on the meaning) either “homosexual donkey” or “homosexual bottom”.

Geezus, 3-way switches piss the fuck outta me. I really think V had a great idea to take classes. I’ve read all the electrical books we could find, my husband and I have still shorted out more switches than we can count. It be much easier to have someone show us how to actually do it. And this is with me having gone to engineering school! I know how to fiddle with resistors & circuit boards, but them goddamn light switches can still befuddle me.

And good tools do make a world of difference, I had my own set of homosexual-wire-strippers before realizing spending the extra few bucks saves one the embarrassment of having to say they have turrets instead of admitting they’re cursing because they stripped all the skin off their pinky finger & the wire is still intact.

Also, don’t get me started again on what a “fucktard” actually is. Don’t worry I’m a thoroughly underachieving bastard. Someone’s been feeding the trolls.

@3
You never saw Clerks 2?

In high school I once heard a rumor that the local Overachieving Fucktard got beat up after school one day. It was great.

Best way to deal with them, I’ve found, is to simply interrupt it every chance you get.

If they’re debating something, and they pause, ask a question and give the instructor a way out before the fuckhead can try to make another point.

Either that or just sit and wait it out.

And tools do matter, but having used crappy tools just makes you appreciate what a well-crafted one is. And being able to improvise is always good too…(like using your teeth=))

And never heard of “monkey” being a racist term…as a euphemism but not racist term…maybe its regional?

I have a couple of Overachieving Fuckheads at my school. Because of the way the classes are run (discussion, no lecture), our fuckheads are busily trying to show up every other person in the room.

If only they could be dealt with so easily.
