Ohm's Law and Other "Current Paths".

I got to work this morning, and a co-worker had sent this in the mail. At work we deal with electronics, and this just made me laugh out loud. If you use Ohms law, you'll know what I mean. And if you work in an office too, consider it icing on the cake.

Where this originated from, I don't know, but thanks for the laugh Matt!




A Kansas farm wife called the local phone company to report her telephone failed to ring when her friends called and that on the few occasions, when it did ring, her dog always moaned right before thephone rang. The telephone repairman proceeded to the scene, curious to see this psychic dog or senile lady. He climbed a telephone pole, hooked in his test set, and dialed the subscriber's house. The phone didn't ring right away, but then the dog moaned several times and the telephone began to ring. Climbing down from the pole, the telephone repairman found:

1. The dog was tied to the telephone system's ground wire with a steelchain and collar.

2. The wire connection to the ground rod was loose.

3. The dog was receiving 90 volts of signaling current when the number was called.

4. After a couple of jolts, the dog would start moaning and then urinate.

5. The wet ground would complete the circuit, thus causing the phone to ring.



Which demonstrates that some problems CAN be fixed by pissing and moaning.
