    Grew up on a farm, and the old man had installed a electrical fence. He went to show off wearing rubber boots and held the line. My brother, who wasn't wearing rubber boots was intriqued and grabbed the old mans' arm, zapping them both. Good thing it was a pulse and not steady, but that was a priceless moment. The look those two had!

    All you had to do was send it to Speechpad and double their rates as a "service fee". Gotta make that money wherever you can find it these days.

    The smaller Horse paddock size pulsed Electric fences are about 5-10Kv at around 10ma with a perimeter up to 5-10km. The bigger cattle property pulsed electrical fences out west here pack about 20kv-40kv around ~50ma with a perimeter upward of 50km. The closer to the property Homestead power supply the more the darn mule kicks. Not something your want to place you tongue on to test if it's working. Trust me, I'm now a veteran expert on electrical fences, I have the T-shirt....

    My high school auto shop had a spark plug tester that had a pin hole in the rubber boot that covered the clip for connecting to the spark plug. If you didn't get enough sleep the night before and forgot to let go of the boot before hitting the test button, you got woken up immediately.

    Ha. At least they took the staples out. I've seen k-12 teachers of all people put docs in a feeder without removing the staples or worse put a paper clipped stack of docs in. oi veh.

    That is a terrifying scene. I can't believe how sloppy those users are.

    Me- didn't say a thing, just pulled the bridge unit out of copier, held it upside down over her desk and shook it. Wish I'd taken a photo of the look on her face as a handful of staples rained down on her desk.

    I have seen literally that many staples INSIDE a document feeder. Some were hanging on the wires above the circuit board inside. The result of hundreds or thousands of stapled packets through it.

    I watched an old motor mechanic one day testing for an V8 engine misfire. He pulled the spark plug rubber caps off a running V8 motor. He pulled two plugs off at a time, his whole body does a break dance move that would make Michael Jackson envious , but he just puts them back on the spark plugs an moves to the next one. Some people's natural body water is more alkaline than others, that allows them to do this sort of activity.

    My lawn mower spark plug boots quite enough for me...
