I hope this is "tongue-in-cheek".
For the less experienced members reading the list, the following procedure
(posted below) is practically guaranteed to result in a payout by your life
insurance policy to your beneficiary.
The "hand in the pocket" rule assumes that your two hands are the only
possible points for electrical conduction. Keeping one hand in a pocket
removes one of the two conductors, therefore no current can flow. Any body
that stands on a bare concrete floor while working on electrical appliances
should consider taking up another hobby.
