Good grief. Your definition of a schizophrenic is someone who denies
objective reality?



Well, it does go a loooong way towards explaining where you come from...

It's amazing how many schizophrenics (those who 'deny' objective reality)
won't volunteer to stand in front of an onrushing train to prove their
point.

Ohm my!! Watt did you say? Shocking; simply shocking!! :-))

Explaining electricity to the layman can indeed be a true test of one's
ability to improvise with explanation. Even today, after years of
dealing with this wonder of science, I STILL find electricity
fascinating and interesting.
The water analogy has been around a while for sure. Personally I prefer
the pool balls in the pipe :-))

Funny, Ron tells stories of when he and a friend were in firefighting
training (both EE's) and after a while they looked at each other and
jokingly said "hey, it's just like electricity!".

Our son, also an EE, likes the hose analogy too.
