LOL.? That's a good one! My now ex-husband was electrocuted by 7600 volts on the job back in 1991.? He was a cable guy who was up a pole in someone's yard.? He was reaching around the pole to hook his safety belt and grapped an in-line fuse with his left hand.? He fell 25 or so feet off his ladder to the ground.? He ended up with burns to the bone on his left hand, and burns on his thigh where the coins in his pants pocket were touching his leg.? Collapsed both lungs, ruptured his spleen, compression fractures in his back.? He ended up getting pnuemonia while in the ICU. I just happened to be at the jobsite when this all happened.? Now, I know what that popping sound is when the squirrels screw up! He was back on the job about 4 months later with no rmajor side effects from the accident.? I hate electricity!??

If you turn off the electricity, you might as well be a girly-man. The real challenge is to do it with the electricity on. I always keep a dog close so that he can throw me off the live wire if I get stuck. Mostly they go sleep. Evan L.
