Didn't that gorilla later become a dentist?<br>

<div>Back at college, the prof told a story from his college
days, about some gorilla pulling a heavy feeder cable across
the floor on some temp installation. Coming across some
obstruction that snagged the cable, he just pulled harder,
hard enough to separate the cable from the snagged connector.
The 240v bare wires weren't touching each other, but as they
travelled across the floor, they were arcing and sparking as
they shorted across the concrete, which politely
disintegrated, breaking the circuit before the breaker
tripped. He said there was about 4 feet of permanent scarred
pitted concrete arc trail, and one hell of a smell, when the
breaker finally went. The gorilla never even noticed, until he
reeled in the cable at its destination. </div>
