I remember many years ago when I worked in TV
repairs. We had a new customer in a new house in a
certain development with a "broke" TV. I went out and
there was nothing. I knew the development better than
she did. I said "which of these two wall switches
turns on the wall plug?" She insisted one turned on
the light in the rear of the carport and the other
turned on the light in the front of the carport. I
practically had to fight her to be able to turn the
switches on - and on came the TV. One was for the wall
plug, the other for both lights. *:o)
