Well, Mr. Layman, 120 volts can be just as lethal as 220. Besides, JJS 
has professed his extreme aversion to anything involving "juice", so you 
can stop worrying.

Besides, apropos another little sub-thread here, the last time I got 
zapped, it was with 277 volts (that weird lighting voltage Nick Lindan 
mentioned). I survived it. So, Nicholas, why do they use that strange 
voltage? (This was in a large commercial building.)
