This past Thursday, I worked with neon lighting for the first time. It's a little stressful, working on 60 amps at 4000 volts. For example, most households have between 10-20 amps at 120 volts, if you stuck a fork in your electrial outlet, you'd be anywhere from extreme pain to muscular paralysis - someone would have to disconnect you from the fork/outlet. We were way past that, 60 amps at 4000 volts will also cause extreme breathing difficulty: so you're paralyzed, getting shocked (burned at the point of contact) and you can't hardly breath. All this at 15 feet in the air. Nobody got shocked though, it was basically uneventful, but stressful.
In a less expensive part of my life, the Price Is Right minivan is starting to get a little "character," The fuel gauge is innacurate, so we have to base our fill-ups on mileage.

I thought you kids called them "manvans" back in the day? Or is that term only used for bachelors?
Few vans deserve the title of "Man Van." Even though the Price is Right van easily does 90 mph, it has little manly character. Maybe you could call it a Lad Van, but it's no Man Van.
I think Lad Van is more than appropriate.
When it gets to the point of Vance's old van in character then it will definitly be a ManVan. At that point you could say "And then I knew the Van was a Man" also there were some protesters protestin' and what day is it?
