I once tried to idiot-proof a Theatre Organ

put the wrong plug in the wrong socket, not even
with a hammer!!!
So what did the contractor/builders do? They did
not read the large yellow and black notice on
the rear of the console that instructed them to
remove all plugs before moving the console. The
result was that they gave the 2 ton console a
hefty shove to start it moving and smashed the
sh*t out of the connectors.
Well, I didn't see that one coming!
