    Where I work, one engineering rule states that "you can't make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious".

    Photographic evidence supports this now and then.

    They’re in a swimming pool.
    It’s not like they’re in a river where the current would be flowing.

    The pool being so big it would act like a big capacitor against ground, the current would flow just fine.
    Alternating current has that nasty habit.

    Maybe changing just one vocal ...
    From ingenious to ingenuous.

    Once again we see the magical powers of alcohol shielding people from otherwise certain disaster.

    Gotta love my automatic spell checker.
    Sometimes it will change a correct word.
    Not sure why yet.

    The 4th guy, not in the picture, went in to get more beer and plug in the extension cord.

    They needed cheese for toasted cheese sandwiches and he wanted to make sure the cord wasn't plugged in to a pesky GFCI.

    Nah, it's safe they're using a surge protector.

    More proof that the tag on hair dryers "warning do not use in bathtub" needs to be there!

    I want to point out that that's a European plug which means it's a 220 V circuit. So it's a lot safer for their electronics. No pesky GFCI to ruin their fun either. Dang GFCI is always cutting power to my pool computer. I had to tape a marble over the reset switch.
