Reminds me of a long time ago in work... repair tech came in to have a 
look at one of the monitors.  Took the back off with it on and started 
mucking about.  My comment of "Um.  Isn't that slightly dangerous?" 
received the overly (I felt) cheerful response, as his ponytail dangled 
dangerously near the guts of the system:

"Only inasmuch as I could get killed."

My comment.  "Fine, right, well I'll be over *here* then...."

I won't even mention the friend fixing a TV for me who turned it on only 
to have it burst into flames.  That was after replacing the charred bits 
from the last attempt.  We binned it.

Kind regards,

Julian
