Because I had a spare socket and adapter kicking about.
Then what is yours?
And why can't you indent?

Watching his date from the corner of his eye while he poured her a drink= , the young bachelor said, "Say when." She replied, "Right after that drink."
Once a neighbor showed me a short extension with two plugs (this was made to solve a gender mixup with Christmas lights). You could use it with that plugless adapter.
I made one of those once. It was quite useful to move a device from one socket to another without switching it off. For example, a computer plugged into a 4-way strip. I'd plug the double ended plug cord into another socket and power the strip through it, while I moved the strip over to the new location. Computer stayed on.
Only if you have a death wish - it is Darwin award territory but more likely to kill some unsuspecting innocent than the f****it that wired it up.
A friend at university was seriously injured by such a lead. He had serious burns to the hand after unplugging a cable from a 4 way extension block that had a plug at each end - his hand bridged live and neutral. The Jesus cable had been made up by a previous PhD student :(

A great way to lose weight is to eat naked in front of a mirror. Restau= rants will almost always throw you out before you can eat too much.
Despite it's lower voltage, it's capable of killing and/or causing injury. It's also more likely to try and hold you whereas the higher voltages are more likely to kick you off of them. Still, I prefer not to be shocked or grabbed by either. :)
