Reminds me of the story of the new graduate with nice new AVO 8 who decided
to demonstrate measuring the source impedance of the mains. Put meter on
ohms and then prods into mains socket. Almighty bang and flash inside said
meter, and large repair bill in form of another new meter.

I did not see it, and it is some time since I heard the  story, so cannot
remember if the person that told it to me was an observer at the "event".
