Last year I had some work done on my kitchen and discovered that the jerks that lived here before me had used an extension cord that they ran up from the basement, through the wall, and then just put an outlet over it like a normal socket!

My husband's father and my husband are lawyers. I said for years that two generations of lawyers couldn't change a light bulb.
