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. -- There is never a situation where having more rounds is a disadvantage Rob Leatham |

This takes it to a whole new level. 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. Norm |

UPDATE: Off Topic: Darwin Award
"Lee Michaels" wrote http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/...xOveQD9E62II80 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. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/htm...trocution.html |
