One of the lingering effects from breaking my ankle years ago (aside from a lack of flexibility which makes miracle stretching programmes almost irresistible) is a slight distortion to my sense of touch: pressing my scar triggers a short circuit which makes the sole of my foot tingle.
Our house seems to have developed a similar problem: pressing our doorbell triggers a short circuit which makes all the lights and electrics go out.
Oops.
