Every farmboy has ****ed on an electric fence.

This takes it to a whole new level.

Umm, this one never did.

Kind of from that school of thought that learned wisdom from others, not
one of those who had to pee on the electric fence himself.

Not at all. You see, Dad has always used the industrial strength fence
chargers, starting out when I was young with an International Weedchopper, a
high-voltage relay controlled unit that was on for about 1 second, then off
about the same amount of time to permit the afflicted to release their
involuntary grip on the fence wire. Later came the ~10kv solid state units
after the IWC died. Having accidentally touched those fences with hands,
fingers, and legs there was no way on earth I would even think it an
interesting experiment to allow those suckers a shot at my private parts.
Just accidentally touching the wire with your hands leave you weak-kneed for
a short while.

No, some of us farmboys learn from others mistakes!!!!(Then there are
those who just HAVE to **** on the fence themselves)

Uncle's favorite trick was when walking along shoulder of road in
fresh dewy grass, me barefoot & him in rubber boots, he'd grab my hand
and then grab the fence with the other hand. Pulsating type fencer,
pops out a spark-plug sized jolt every 3 to 4 sec, and the poor soul
on the END of the loop gets nailed worse than if I had grabbed the
fence myself.

Well, the verdict is in. The autopsy was done. He did not die of ****ing on
a downed power line. He GRABBED it with his left hand.

He still qualifies for a Darwin Award though.

First he crashes into a power pole. He calls for help. Then he grabs a
downed power line. Somehow or another, that made sense to him.

Begs the question, what did he have in his Right hand?

Most Certainly!
