10 commandments for Technicians
                  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
1. Beware the lightning that lurketh in the undischarged capacitor, 
   lest it cause thee to bounce upon thy buttocks in a most
   un-technicianlike manner.
 
2. Cause thou the switch that supplieth large quantities of juice to
   be opened and thus tagged, that thy days in this Earthly vale of
   tears be long.
 
3. Prove to thyself that all circuits that radiateth and upon which
   thou toil are grounded and thusly tagged lest they lift thee unto
   radio heaven
 
4. Tarry thou not amongst those fools that engageth in intentional
   shocks, for they a surely non-believers and are not longeth for
   this world.
 
5. Take care that thou useth the proper method when thou taketh the
   measure of a high voltage circuit, lest thou incinerate both
   thyself and thy meter.
 
6. Take care thou tampereth not with interlocks and safety devices,
   for this incurreth the wrath of thy supervisor and bringeth the 
   fury of the safety inspector upon thy head and about thy shoulders.
 
7. Toil not thou on energized equipment, for if thou so doest, thy
   fellow workers will surely buy beers for thy widow and console
   her otherwise.
 
8. Service thou equipment  not alone, for electrical cooking is a
   slothful process and thou mine sizzle in thine own juices for
   hours upon a hot circuit before thy maker sees fit to end thy
   misery.
 
9. Trifle thou not with radioactive tubes and substances lest thou
   commenceth to glow in the dark liketh a lightning bug and thy wife
   hath no further use for thee except for thy wages.
 
10. Causeth thou to be tagged all modifications made by thee upon equipment 
    lest thy successor teareth out his hair and goeth slowly mad in 
    his attempt to decide what manner of creature madeth a nest in 
    the wiring of such equipment.
