Re: The new world we're in.
I once fixed* a leaking pipe with a hammer.
*I say leaking, more like pissing. It was an old house, and this pipe was about 10mm wide and I (mistakenly) thought it didn't contain any water, so I cut it. Panic isn't something I do very often, I can think of twice and this was one of them. With water pissing everywhere I I hammered the end flat, folded it over and hammered it again until no water came out - apparently that was the correct fix (according to a plumber).
Electricity doesn't leak out all over the floor at least, just to the nearest earth point which could be your light switch ;)
