Or the case of taking the wire from inside a scalextric hand controller,
attaching on end to a sucker, affixing that to one side of a door frame,
stretching across to make a trip wire and being short of something to anchor
it with the other side, wrapping the remaining wire around the pins of a mains
plug and pluging it in!
Apparantly I was discovered on the other side of the room imbeded in a
wardrobe. :-)
