Two electricians are standing on a ladder leaned against a utility pole......when an elderly lady was passing below them.
One of the electricians calls her.
"Excuse me, ma'm! Could you pass us that wire, so we don't have to climb down?"
"This one, young man?""
"Yes, that one! Thank you so much, ma'm, you're very kind!"
"No problem, dear!"
After the lady passed him the wire, and left, the electrician tells his mate:
"See, Fred? I told you this was the neutral wire, but no, you had to insist that it was the live wire!"
