Helpful Hints from joeeze — Double your success rate with no risk

Alas, this tip will only improve your outcome when you plug in a two-prong polarized cord — but hey, it's not as if I'm charging you an arm and a leg for it.

Look at the picture above.

What do you see?

In fact, those are 1/4" diameter adhesive paper dots which have a million and one uses around the home and office, but here and now serve to make your socket life just a tad smoother.

Here is what you do:

1) Take a green dot and place it on the side of the plug that you see when you plug in the device.

2) From now on, every time you pick up the cord, simply place the green dot up and you're 100% certain to have it correctly oriented for electricity to happen.

Guaranteed — or I will cheerfully refund every penny you paid for your dots.

760 in assorted colors (Green, Yellow, Blue and Red) cost $4.49 here.

N.B. Any color dot will work equally well: I use green because of the deeply embedded association with "Go," etc.
