I wanted to send in the catch phrase that I use at work. When I'm asked what I do for a living, I tell them “that I check and remove shorts.” P.S. I'm a female electrician and this is my comeback to being asked if I'm really an electrician.

Q. How do you keep an apprentice busy for hours?
A. Ask him to find a double-gang ceiling ring so you can hang a light and a fan or ask him for a box of ohms.
