[ARC5] [BoatAnchors] 125 VAC Line? Make Your BA's Happy, Cheap.

[Nick England]

ATTENTION COMRADE ARDEN!

Put down that dangerously hot, unlicensed, soldering iron and step away
from the workbench! The Safety Police will be arriving shortly to
confiscate all that dangerous unlicensed radio equipment with high tension,
err high pressure, err, high emf, err high voltage power supplies with
Exposed Wiring. It has come to our attention that most of your radios were
manufactured by Evil Corporations (redundant) led by Evil Executives
(redundant again) who attended Business Schools where they teach courses
like "How to electrocute babies for fun and profit".
In return for the seized radio equipment, you will be issued 1 ea. D-Cell
battery and a small quantity of conductive paint.
A Safety Monitor Telescreen will be installed in your home to ensure that
you don't swallow or otherwise misuse the D-Cell and paint.
Have Fun!
