Of course one should deny any involvement of grog when making a statement to 
the police.

I'd rather you'd keep my pockets tidy.

Hmmm, now where's that big fat trout when you need it?

That's because it hasn't dawned ont the humiliated ones that they could 
claim artistic license and become popular with all the girls that dress in 
black and wear french hats.

There doesn't tend to be a logic over here. Especially when one light is 
connected to two switches...

A quick count at my home gets these results:

3 bottom half pushed in for light
5 top half pushed in for light

There's to more downstairs in the dungeons. I refuse to go there after 
midnight... again.

No left-to-right ones, except on extension cables.

The truly amazing bit: they all worked.

And don't get me started on keys with teeth up or down inserted into locks.
