Well, I've gotten 110 AC several times (and one time I figured out that
my train transformer was broken, becuase I'd opened it up and had been
handling it for an hour and never got a shock, even though I had
forgotten to unplug it. The plug was broken from the wire.)

And I once got 2000 volts DC, from a television. I didn't hold on and
it knocked me across the room and dislocated a shoulder than hadn't been
out for 15 years. I might have been on my haunches instead of my knees.
That was a violation of Philo's or Robert's rules. I was being careful
and don't even know what I touched.
The beauty of a colour TV (CRT) is you didn't HAVE to touch
anything. With 6000volts you just had to get CLOSE. 6000 was on B&W
sets - big colour sets can be as high as 25000+

I had a REAL old TV transformer straighten me out real quick - and at
6"I was taller than the basement ceiling height. My hard head drove a
nail (head) up through the linoleum flooring , hitting it on the sharp
end from below.

You nailed this thread. This is a shocking story. You are a hard head!

From my experience, you're more likely to be injured by the thing you
hit when you fly across the room than the electrical jolt itself.

Ever since, if someone says I have rocks in my head, I just take it

I have respect for a man who works in a
5" tall cellar. Especially when one is
6" tall.

" = inch
' = foot

someone is going to ask about the six inch tall
man.

This group rocks. Amazing how pebble help out.
Don't even have to be a licensed boulder to
shale out the gas. I think the judge just
struck the gravel on this one. Motion
granite.
