Couple of days ago my spike gaurd started hissing and sparking, and smoking!
My girl screamed. I screamed(I had justed plugged my laptop in).
Balls in my mouth,I just hit the main switch.
Then my girlfriend goes into a paranoid frenzy to see if her laptop power cable was working(wasnt even plugged in).Her reasoning was that it was in close proximity to the bitchy spike protector.
Reminds me of this Kashmiri friend I had who washed an electric toaster under running water and then plugged it in- all while I told him he was absolutely insane.( also gives an insight into the kind of gun-toting terrorists our fellows have to deal with in the mountains)
