When in doubt!!! Ask someone close by, "What color is this????"

I used to work for a Senior Chief ETCS lovingly referred to as "Shakey"
by everyone who knew him. His hand shook something awful, even with a
few beers in him, and to watch him decending into a running transmitter
was a harrowing experience at 3KV. But, just like magic, as soon as
Shakey got down to that last 1/4" before he shorted B+ to the screens or
input, that shakey hand would just freeze, solid as rock, to touch just
that one perfect point.

After seeing it a few times, the thrill wore off. After that, it was
more fun to watch the people who'd never seen Shakey use a scope probe
than it was the probe, itself. The look of horror on their faces, to
think they were just about to witness him exploding was PRICELESS!
