I have a groove in my front left tooth, which is perfect for stripping
wires. I have this groove precisely because I have stripped so many wires
with my teeth: it's a sort of vicious circle.
Today however, I found out two things about working with phone wiring.
1) 50V in the mouth hurts rather a surprising amount. without thinking I
stripped the wire on the inbound phone connection with my teeth. the ring
wire was okay, the B wire was okay, but stripping the wire whilst holding
the (bare) B wire in my left hand was most definetly >not< okay.
2) My soldering iron leaks enough 50Hz onto the wiring being soldered to
cause the phones to ring continuously whilst the tip is attached to eitehr
the A or B Wire..... cool, huh?
Ian.
