My pliers were insulted when I told them they were too small. M

I got slapped one time when I reached for a needle nose.

This is so dumb. Just replace the plug on the end of the power cord.

[Tony Hwang]

Typical waste of band width. Not even slightest funny.

[Paintedcow]

Not meant to be funny. It's to see if you know what to do Obviously, you would not know what to do and would be the furst one to get electrocuted!

[Micky]

Unlikely. You have to shake the house.

[gfretwell]

I thought that was when you were making popcorn.

[HerHusband]

I don't have a funny answer, but I would:

1. Turn off the power

Even if I could get the broken prong out of the outlet without causing more damage, I wouldn't know for sure the outlet wasn't faulty. Basic outlets cost less than a dollar and I usually always have spares on hand. Safer and easier just to replace the outlet.

1. Turn power back on.

1. Replace the electrical cord, or install a new plug on the end of the cord.

Bzzzt! WRONG ANSWER!

Correct answer would be to ask how to do it on alt.home.repair and then argue with everyone who gave an answer.

[Tony Hwang]

That is A+++ answer, LOL!

[Gordon Shumway]

Haven't you got something better to do?

[Stormin Mormon]

Tony complains about bandwidth while full quoting.

[Stormin Mormon]

That is CLEARLY not the way to go about it. You are obviously an argumentative troll, and should immediately stop contradicting people. You are very wrong if you think we like contradictory people on this list. We most certainly do not.
