Someone at ACE Hardware is sick and goddamn tired of people coming in and requesting double ended male adapters. He’s so tired of all the questions that he actually posted the sign below to ward off other potential customers.
Double ended male “adapters” are illegal, dangerous, a fire hazard, and possible immoral. If you have need of this “adapter” you have hung a string of lights backwards.
Can anyone explain to me how a simple electrical adapter is “possible immoral”. I think someone needs to take a break from pushing their beliefs on others and climb down off their cloud of judgment.
And for the record, no shit I strung the goddamn string of lights backwards but I already almost broke my neck once up on that frost covered roof and you can sure as shit bet I’m not climbing back up there to unstring and then restring the fucking lights. Just sell me the fucking adapter so my kids will get off my ass and I can enjoy the goddamn holiday season.

He means to sell a double male adapter to a jackass like you would be immoral, because then you’d be leaving a live plug on one end, and you’ll probably end up killing yourself or your kids. I’d bet that would get them off your ass. Idiot.
