Tim Quote #261

Quote from Tim in What About Bob?

Tim: Well, I was hoping you'd help us put in the wall switch.
Bob Vila: Well, you're the expert, Tim. You really should install the switch.
Tim: Well, I have to be humble enough to say that I really don't know all there is to know about home repair.
Al: Well, Tim, you surprise me.
Tim: Oh, come on, Al. This is Bob Vila, the big kahuna of home repair, and I think the audience would like to see him in action. What do you think, folks? Come on. [audience cheers]
Bob Vila: Well, what the heck. I mean, electrical work is not my strong point, Tim, but this is pretty simple stuff. I assume you've knocked out the hole and fed the wires through there.
Tim: That would be these three here.
Bob Vila: And then the very important thing is to make sure they're clamped down securely with a lock nut connector.
Tim: I was in Scotland this year, and I actually saw the lock nut connector. [Bob and Al are silent]
