Well, this isn't really in the same domain, but.........when my brother was just out of college, his first job was as an engineer in a small S.C. town which shall remain nameless, but whose initials are Kings Tree. One of his neighbors worked for the local electrisitical company and one of his jobs was to read meters. He caught a lot of flak about electrical bills and one fellow , who lived in a large 'project', was particularly vehement......complaining every month. One month......while hearing the rant yet again, he motioned the complainer nearer, looked furtively over each shoulder and swore the man to secrecy, making him promise to not tell a soul. "If you'll break a brick-bat exactly in half and balance one half on top of your meter, it'll slow the meter down and cut your usage by about one half". The reader forgot all about it..........'til the next month when he parked his truck and started going from apartment to apartment to read the meters. EVERY SINGLE METER had a half-brick balanced on top of it.
