Don't worry, open front house door so your excess of electrons can escape to the outside world.

To ensure adequate recycling levels, back your car up to the front door, leave your boot lid open to catch the red electrons and your bonnet open for the white electrons, and one door on each side for the orange electrons. Then you can be sure all your lights will work in the morning and you won't have to bother your battery.

Whatever you do, don't switch on a tap. It could cause an explosion.

your carelessness is shocking.

best thing to do is probably to cover the hall with compost and plant some bulbs.

The only way to stop a disaster is to wet your hands and then push a nail into one of the sockets.This will guarantee that you'll see no more leaks.

What you need is a cat, but not any old cat but a flat cat. If you remember electricity was discovered when William Gilbert passion for rubbing cats with amber rods resulted in him getting an unexpected belt up the arm, William didnt realise that he had a fully charged cat on his hands. Cats become fully charged when left outside in thunderstorms but can be discharged by placing in water.

So follow this proceedure.

Hijak a neighbours cat (particularly the one which has been crapping in your rose beds). Then place its head carefully in a toilet bowl (or another handy earthed water container), then take the cat to the room with a leak. Leave in the room and retire to a safe distance, preferably with some savlon and bandage to repair the deep scratch marks in your arms and face. After 1 hour the cat will be fully charged leaving you room free to use.

Now dont do it again.

Mop up after yourself, and don't forget to lift the seat next time.

Wear long trousers. That way you won't get any shorts.
