A TECH'S TEN COMMANDMENTS
1. Beware of the lightning that lurketh in the undischarged capacitor, lest it cause thee to bounce upon thy buttocks in a most untechnican- like manner.
2. Cause thou the switch that supplieth large quantities of juice to be opened and thus tagged, that thy days in 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 to radio heaven.
4. Tarry thou not amongst those fools that engage in intentional shocks, for they are surely non-believers and are not long for this world.
5. Take care that thou useth the
proper method when thou takest the measure of a high-voltage circuit, lest thou incinerate both thy self 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 dost, 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 thee might sizzle in thy 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 commence to glow in
the dark like a lightning bug and thy wife have 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 tear his hair and go slowly mad in his attempt to decide what manner of creature made a nest in the wiring of such equipment.
