Another Electrical Question

[Thomas McCurnin]

So a friend contacted me and wanted a custom plate for a combination outlet-switch,

So, does anyone know where he can get something like this, he asked, or is there a place for a custom back plate?

Just so you don't think poorly of me, this post is a joke, although the question from my friend was real. Obviously, the answer is one turns the plate around. I thought you folks might get a laugh.

Reminds me of the story about the roofer who tossed a bunch of nails away because the point was on the wrong end. Luckily his foreman knew better, "they are for the other side of the roof".

Make sure the refridgertor is plugged into the lower outlet. We all know cold falls downward. Heaters plug into the upper outlets.

Hmm, an easy one. Just pull out the switches and move them to match the plate.

I wasn't thinking poorly of you. Well, sorta. I was thinking you didn't know April 1st was a couple weeks away.

Good one.

The big hint was the "Laugh or Croak" label on the photo plus the text at the top in the form often added to "funny" posts that are passed around.

That particular "joke" has been all over Facebook and other places, for example:
