    Nay sir, there be no measure of sin..ALL sin is equal in the eyes of the all powerfull NEC book of knowledge..

    LOL, I saw it happen once, a dumb carpenter trying to change a cord end..
    He bit down and somehow managed to jerk the wire out of his mouth, funny stuff...
    Oh did I mention the cord was still plugged in?.

    I cracked a front tooth once by pulling the insulation off of some 30 ga. wirewrap wire. I didn't mention to my dentist what I had done to cause it, since he had already accused me of cracking crab with one of my back teeth. In his words, "Never use your teeth as tools!" Still, though, as occupational hazards go, we have it pretty easy. :)

    "Never use your teeth as tools!"

    Out of all the advice given within this thread, I think this is the best advice :)

    Phil, you say the funniest things. You always get a laugh out of me.

    I think there is one exception to the "don't use your teeth" rule..
    When you have a fist full of wire that you want to tape together, and you can't set them down or they will scatter,
    and the business end of the electrical tape is stuck tight to the roll, You have one free hand, what will you do?
    What will you do?...

    This does not dicuss the exact specific point, but it scratches the surface.
