Oh man, what a scenario. The guy comes out to see why his bugzapper ain't
workin, but when he moves it, it comes on, so he thinks, OK !! and he lets it
go. When it stops swinging. it goes off again. Aggravated, he comes back out 
to see what's wrong only to move it and it comes on again. So he checks his 
drop cords, and outlets for loose connections, but all seems ok, and when the 
zapper stops swingin; BBBZZZZZZZZTTTT, off it goes again. Frustrated, he takes it 
back where he bought it and returns it as defective. They give hime another one,
UP GOES the new zapper, plugged in, everything seem to be OK now, Wheewww, this
one's workin, UNTIL !!! it stops swingin. Just as he sits down outside to enjoy
a cold glass of tea, Ka-Blink; off it goes again. Imagine the frustration. Even the 
occasional gentle evening breeze; off / on -- off / on -- Great way to drive 
someone absolutely nuts !! Wah - Hah -Hah- Hah - Hah - Haaahhhh !!!( sinister laugh )
OK Guys; Sometimes, you just gotts have a sense of humor or the world will drive
you insane. ibbity - ibbity - ibbity, Uhh, that's all folks
