Saybek's Blacked-out Toast Theory of July `98

   
Ever noticed how annoying it is when your toaster or kettle or someother electrical appliance is faulty and you blow a fuse and you have to outside to change the fuse? Isn't it annoying that you have to go outside (often at nighttime) armed with bits of electrical-friendly wire and a torch to see what happening inside that little box. Many people winge about changing fuses and one special group of workers have adapted their work place so they never have to change a fuse. These people are workers at powerstations.

   
Consider if you will a powerstation office or break room. The kettle stuffs up and everyone gets a bit peeved off with the world that they can't have their cup of coffee. At powerstation break rooms they don't have fuses because they are connected directly to the electricity generators. (Do not try this yourself. Fuses save lives.) So when their kettle is faulty, it does not blow a fuse like ours would. Instead it knocks out a special rod in the generators, thereby disrupting power supply to thousands of people like you and me. And most importantly interrupting everybody else's coffee breaks as well. If the electricty workers can't have their coffee when they want it, why should anyone else?
