The ‛Prise Électrique’ (in Six Acts)

I need a wall socket to replace an important one I broke in the living room by ripping a lamp cord out of the wall like a fucking ape (it got worse from there, but that’s a different story).

Not the whole socket, mind you, just the essential piece inside where the magic happens (‘prise’ in French).

‘Fixe-le avant que je rentre, connard,’ yelled the wifman up the stairs lovingly as she left for the big city across the border.
