You are finally helping your wife with dishes, and your favorite fork falls in the garbage disposal. You reach in while its running. Your wife says that's not a good idea. You do it anyway to show you're a man. First your fingertips go, then your first digits. Your wife wants to switch off the disposal but you block the path. You try yourself to withdraw but your hand is too big (it seemed a lot easier going in). Soon the palm of your hand is gone and your wife is frantic. You still block the way to the switch. You tell her it's not painful and you can take it. She buts in and flips the switch off, but your hand is already gone and you pull out the stub proudly, saying "I know what I'm doing". You stayed the course. Meanwhile your bones have totally jammed and disposal and it no longer works. It's total mess. Your wife says you'll have to buy a new one. You say it's fine and to prove it you turn it on again. It jams and blows the main house breaker. (You had wired to disposal breaker always on because you were previously having jamming problems.) Now the whole house is dark, but you see your neighbor's is still lit and curse them for causing you all this trouble. wg
