In order for this to work, that ribbed side of the line cord must be inserted in the wall socket so that the ribbed side pin of the plug goes into the larger slot in the socket. If it is inserted the other way around, you are no better off than you were before. Totally agreed. Once called in by an insurance company as a disinterested knowledgeable party about a small child that almost didn't make it while turning on a lamp in a basement with a damp/wet carpet. The finger was just above the metal/cardboard liner and touched the bulb base. That's why, "Back in the day" all of the basement fixtures were ceiling mounted, and you pulled a string. If some idiot (suicidal tendencies like Ben Franklin) put his finger in the socket EG while standing in the cement sink taking a bath, the shock makes your muscles contract, and your heart stop. Your body weight when you passed out would drag you away and if you were lucky you made it.
