A Shocking Idea

Fiddling with all the different plug sizes, shapes, adapters, hertz and converters in each different country is a bit bothersome. So I ask you---why couldn't all the electric guys from all the countries of the world get together and vote on what kind, shape and voltage worked the best and stick with that? It sure would have made traveling a bit easier and burned out fewer appliances over time, right Paula Brady? But perhaps that is just too easy--after all, that was back in a time when men ruled the world and women didn't have a vote. While we're at it, maybe we could all decide which side of the road we want to drive on. Can't we just have a do over?
