Please forgive, I can't help myself

Every time someone ask advice on electrical trouble shooting I want to say, draw a circle on the problem area, use a 12g double barrel shotgun. If that doesn't solve your problem, try deer slugs.

So Please forgive me it not meant to insult anyone, just a different way to TROUBLE SHOOT ELECTRICAL PROBLESM.

BTY, that's how I want to trouble shoot problem computers.

Please take as the joke for the day.

I hear ya. When I got my first computer, and didn't know anything about operating it. (Windows 98 2nd edition) I couldn't get it to do something I wanted.......so I said, "If you don't cooperate in the morning, I'll take that 12 gauge shotgun in the corner and blow that pea brain outta you're head." and I went to bed. The next morning everything worked just fine.
 
reboot the computer tech support said- so it got rebooted out the window with size 13 steel capped boot. Still doesn't work. RN
 
We used to have a neighbor back in the days when everyone carried a pocket watch that used to tell people how to fix their pocket watch by holding it open under the faucet on the kerosene barrel. If the watch didn't start running, he said to back up and throw the watch against the wall; if the watch isn't running when you pick it up, throw it again HARDER and then go to town and buy a new watch.
 
Jessie, I'm glad to see others share my sense of humor and some think a shot gun is a great tool for trouble shooting. Not to mention a stress reliever. geo.
 
My first mobile phone was one a buddy had and when he upgraded he gave me his old one and I just added minutes until it died after several years of use. He'd asked me to make sure when I was done with it that I destroyed it so when I finally upgraded I smashed it on my anvil with a 16-lb hand sledgehammer and sent him a picture of the remains from my new phone, which actually had a camera. There wasn't a piece left much bigger than penny, and he figured that was sufficient!
As a side note, granting the picture wasn't one of yours, but for anyone doing something similar, the little magnets in a hard drive are SUPER strong and well worth the effort to get them out intact before you smash up a drive.
 
2 of my brothers went to a local snooty university. One of them was dating a really snobby music major for a short while. Brought her out to the farm where another brother pulled a fairly old, but just plain junk piano out of grandma's garage, which had previously come from God only knows where, and put it on the burn pile. We played it with a hammer, as that was the only way to get the keys to move.

He got out his 12 ga. and she was mortified. Later on, he got her to shoot it and she loved it. She hit it a few times if I remember, and was laughing/giggling with pure joy by the end,

Wasn't much longer that we lit the pile and watched that sucker burn...

i had a printer that was giving me trouble so i thru it in trash tall kid said dad i think is still under warranty

(quoted from post at 15:03:59 08/05/16) If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

By golly! I think I'm going to steal that line and post it over my garage door! :lol:
 
Bret, if you do post a sign over your garage, please don't tell anyone it was my idea. I get into enough trouble without even trying.

Actually I got the idea from something that is similar to, "Please forgive them, they don't know what they are doing".

More applicable to many posts, a few of mine included, "Please forgive Me, I don't know what I'm doing". Or "I'm doing,"could be replaced with "I'm talking about".

Again, this is not meant to be an insult anyone, just a little tongue and cheek humor.
