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!
Thankfully it's been round about a decade since I've had any need for chestal support.
Will pass on this possibly lifesaving information to the ladies in my life.

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.....
Yeah, a GF got stabbed pretty good by an underwire once. Ouch.

Hey Man, It more or less is YOUR thread there ;)
If "support" is the issue, I will gladly lend my hands.
Thanks for keeping us abreast of this potential situation.
