My Bipartisan Christmas Tree

My Bipartisan Christmas Tree

Against my better judgment my wife and daughter convinced me this year we should go with an artificial tree.

Well folks, you get what you deserve.


Here is my Bipartisan Christmas Tree.





And here a picture of the line cord where the tree lights plug into the wall.





So why do I call this a Bipartisan Christmas Tree?

Well, see all those lights?

They draw 13.8 amps!!!!

Only a Republican could be behind that level of energy usage.



And did you see that line cord?

There are Eleven (11) Safety and Legal notice ("Do not remove under penalty of death!") labels attached to it.

Only a Democrat, with lobbying from the Trial Lawyers could create that many rules for me to break!

LMAO

It looks nice but I would make sure you have it on a dedicated service line with a battery backup and generator.

Well I get that it uses 1.482421875 - 1.6171875 K W you might want to check you math TO

unless you are using an RMS caluculator you should get about 1.549 KW

Christmas tree lights? My wife had me pre-wire her "dream tree" with 2,550 lights! This is one stout tree that holds some of her over 400 Hallmark ornaments she's been collecting since 1976. It took almost three days for me to complete it but I'll never have to fight with lights again!
She had her party last night for her Hallmark club. My dutys are done, I'm a good guy now and can get back to more important things like Jeep trips!
