Passed down from my Mom
Time frame around 1944

Dad was a Sailor
Mom was a young new bride
They were at Great Lakes base housing.
Pop was chasing Mom with a wet towel and snapping at her (playful)

Pop missed and hit a light somehow
The bulb broke and the moisture in the towel somehow blew the fuse
Only problem was that blew the main fuse for a group of housing units.

Maintenance never tracked the source of the problem -----

Affirmative
Pop as a young Sailor was setting bullets they would be evicted.
Mom was thinking a cardboard box for a home
