The Unsuccessful Electrician


Behavioural Sciences are not my strong point, but I could never understand what possessed him to flick THAT switch. Of all the flicky switches, that was definitely the least flickiest. Perhaps because it was the biggest, or because it said ‘ON’, or because it was red ….. I have always considered red to be a warning. I’ve not always been sure what it was warning me about, but I have always been a little apprehensive about red. Blue is fine, if a little cold, and I’m quite into light green in the right places,  even black can be interesting, but, red?  Red says ‘Back Off Buddy’ in a loud voice laced with menace like Bruce Willis in Die Hard. Red is like a Colt 45 Magnum pointed between your eyes. “Do you feel lucky, punk?” Obviously he did. Obviously he wasn’t.
