AP converses with fellow injured people

I have a friend whose such a genius, that the friend is not content to let the electricity flow through the walls. My friend feels the need to embrace it.

Genius: I've been shocked about 12 times in the last week all by the same power cord.
Genius: I thought, well, surely it won't happen again.
Genius: So I again attempted to put it in and got a little further and this time there were lots of sparks and a big pop and crackle
Genius: and now I am sure I am having many symptoms of my impending death.

This incident can be a learning lesson for us all. In fact, I will now share another one from my childhood. You can never have too many anecdotes telling you, 'when provoked, electricity will open a helluva can of whoop ass on you'.

I must've been around 9 when this happened. We bought a phone that required an AC adapter. I'd put my finger at the end of the pin and didn't feel any electricity. So I told my Dad the adapter was defective since I couldn't feel any electricity on my finger. He said, it was working just fine. So I asked, then why can't I feel anything. He said, try putting it on your tongue....

Yeah, I learned my lesson.
