No, this is not a Flight Service thread. This weekend we looked into why the dryer we got off craigslist would send you a little shock when you touched the exposed screws.

When we plugged it in since we unplug it normally, there was a large mess of sparks and smoke. A lot. As I worked to feverishly to open the plug thinking it was in the wall. I noticed it was all coming from the dryer itself. We pulled the cover off the plug wondering if the previous owner had some strange setup for the power in there I found a small wire welded to the hot side.

I pulled this off and my wife informed me what it was. I thanked her, and was informed that "It's not mine!".

The underwire from the previous owner had worked its way to that point.

So, again, stop wearing bras. It can cause a huge issue!

Those sumbitches hurt when they break loose. Glad mine are real, could cause some serious leakage.

Dear Mrs. Boost.
Stop wearing a bra. It could burn out house down. For that matter, we don't even know how dangerous the rest of your clothes are, so.....

If "support" is the issue, I will gladly lend my hands.
