Oh, the soldering iron does a good job of teaching that, the first
time you pick it up wrong after it has been plugged in. :-)
I remember a advertisment in something like Electronic Design, in
the early '70s, in which the company had gotten a nice-looking secretary to
model for the photos to illustrate their experienced assemblers, and she was
holding the iron (an Ungar, if I remember right) by the CERAMIC HEATING
ELEMENT!
We got a few chuckles out of that! (From her expression, the iron
wasn't plugged in.)
