off a firecracker under my butt.It HURT,and I was shaky for a minute or
two.I imagine that is what being zapped with a TASER feels like.)

Testing a small engine/old auto points condenser was fun. Think that
it's bad? Pull a plug wire from your car engine and slightly
attached the condenser to the plug and wire. Do not let it ground.
Crank the engine, run a moment and turn off. Remove condenser, holding
the wire and toss it to a friend...hey catch!. If you like; just cup
the condenser in your hand. It BITES! :-)
