In-Pool Electric Grilling

January 8th, 2008

Power cord running across poolWhile not a product per se, this random stupid moment caught in time that was sent in by a reader (not a participant!) deserves a special mention. His comments sum up the image nicely:

“Not really sure which is the more stunning move. A live surge protector in the pool, or thinking two flip flops make a good float for it.”

Definitely not American idiots, confirmed by the type of electrical outlet, but I picture this event being reenacted somewhere in the Deep South this summer. Or Texas.

    I can actually picture one of the guys in the pool realizing maybe this isn’t such a smart setup, and moving toward the surge protector to unplug it. And the small wave he creates merely by moving is enough to tip the flip flop floats….

    This is obviously a joke. If you look really close at the power strip, you can see the outlets are stripped. They are empty holes. Funny joke though!
