Shockingly Brillant!

I've been shocked numerous times. I received a nasty jolt a few years back repairing a video game.

I bit down and took a chunk out of my tongue.

Likewise I have had several shocks although I have tried to avoid doing so in more recent years.

When I was a teen we had a mobile disco with quite a lot of light effects. One of our gang was an electrician and he built most of the stuff - so it was of course completely lethal. I remember him plugging all the lights in and one of the gang yelling Noooooo! from the top of the stepladder - The electrician was like WTF? and carried on switching stuff on - there was a flash and the guy on the stepladder flew across the room. I thought I was going to have a hernia laughing. :glag:

:dry: He did it to me too though - at least three times :ermm: Worst one was four shocks in row up my arm from some bizarre device he had made with all the connectors on the outside of the box. It had a record player motor and four fridge switches inside - it quite ingenious really I suppose :dry:

I used to manage a tree nursery and "old man Lagerman" our mechanic
enjoyed shocking the school boys that worked there in the summer.

He built all kinds of contraptions for that purpose. Deep down inside he was a "sick" man.

I always liked him.

When I was a kid I plugged something in outside while it was raining.

My Mom saved me and I ended up going to the hospital.

If you wondered why I'm a bit slow...
