'The Nut Behind The Trigger'
If you don't laugh hysterically at this, CHECK YOUR PULSE... this is funny... and true. This was sent by a retired dentist.

We have the standard 6 ft. fence in the backyard, and a few months ago, I heard about burglaries increasing dramatically in the entire city. To make sure this never happened to me, I got an electric fence and ran a single wire along the top of the fence.

Actually, I got the biggest cattle charger Tractor Supply had, made for 26 miles of fence. I then used an 8 ft. long ground rod, and drove it 7.5 ft. into the ground. The ground rod is the key, with the more you have in the ground, the better the fence works…..

One day I'm mowing the back yard with my cheapo Wal-Mart 6 hp big wheel push mower. The hot wire is broken and laying out in the yard. I knew for a fact that I unplugged the charger. I pushed the mower around the wire and reached down to grab it, to throw it out of the way.

It seems as though I hadn't remembered to unplug it after all.

Now I'm standing there, I've got the running lawnmower in my right hand and the 1.7 giga-volt fence wire in the other hand. Keep in mind the charger is about the size of a marine battery and has a picture of an upside down cow on fire on the cover.

Time stood still.

The first thing I notice is my pecker trying to climb up the front side of my body. My ears curled downwards and I could feel the lawnmower ignition firing in the backside of my brain. Every time that Briggs & Stratton rolled over, I could feel the spark in my head. I was literally at one with the engine.

It seems as though the fence charger and the piece of shit lawnmower were fighting over who would control my electrical impulses.

Science says you cannot crap, pee, and vomit at the same time. I beg to differ. Not only did I do all three at once, but my bowels emptied 3 different times in less than half of a second. It was a Matrix kind of bowel movement, where time is creeping along and you're all leaned back and BAM BAM BAM you just crap your pants 3 times. It seemed like there were minutes in between but in reality it was so close together. It was like exhaust pulses from a big block Chevy turning 8 grand.

At this point I'm about 30 minutes (maybe 2 seconds) into holding onto the fence wire. My hand is wrapped around the wire palm down so I can't let go. I grew up on a farm so I know all about electric fences. But Dad always had those piece of shit chargers made by International or whoever that were like 9 volts and just kinda tickled.

This one I could not let go of. The 8 ft. long ground rod is now accepting signals from me through the permadamp Ark-La-Tex river bottom soil. At this point I'm thinking I'm going to have to just man up and take it, until the lawnmower runs out of gas.

'Damn!,' I think, as I remember I just filled the tank!

Now the lawnmower is starting to run rough. It has settled into a loping run pattern as if it had some kind of big lawnmower race cam in it. Covered in poop, pee, and with my vomit on my chest, I think 'Oh God please die... Pleeeeaze die'. But nooooo, it settles into the rough lumpy cam idle nicely and remains there, like a big bore roller cam EFI motor waiting for the go command from its owner's right foot.

So here I am in the middle of July, 104 degrees, 80% humidity, standing in my own backyard, begging God to kill me. God did not take me that day. He left me there covered in my own fluids to writhe in the misery my own stupidity had created.

I honestly don't know how I got loose from the wire.

I woke up laying on the ground hours later. The lawnmower was beside me, out of gas. It was later on in the day and I was sunburned.

There were two large dead grass spots where I had been standing, and then another long skinny dead spot where the wire had laid while I was on the ground still holding on to it. I assume I finally had a seizure and in the resulting thrashing had somehow let go of the wire..

Upon waking from my electrically induced sleep I realized a few things:

1 - Three of the fillings in my teeth have melted.

2 - I now have cramps in the bottoms of my feet and my right butt cheek (not the left, just the right).

3 - Poop, pee, and vomit when all mixed together, do not smell as bad as you might think.

4 - My left eye will not open.

5 - My right eye will not close.

6 - The lawnmower runs like a sumbitch now. Seriously! I think our little session cleared out some carbon fouling or something, because it was better than new after that.

7 - My nuts are still smaller than average yet they are almost a foot long.

8 - I can turn on the TV in the game room by farting while thinking of the number 4 (still don't understand this!!!).

That day changed my life. I now have a newfound respect for things. I appreciate the little things more, and now I always triple check to make sure the fence is unplugged before I mow.

The good news, is that if a burglar does try to come over the fence, I can clearly visualize what my security system will do to him, and THAT gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling all over, which also reminds me to triple check before I mow.
 
45 MINUTES LATER & I'M STILL LAUGHING.THE OLD LADY WANTS TO COMMIT ME, SHE KEEPS GIVING ME THE "EYE" & SHAKES HER HEAD..TOO FUNNY..MADE MY DAY,THANKS BEAR.
 
Hell i started laughing at......Keep in mind the charger is about the size of a marine battery and has a picture of an upside down cow on fire on the cover.


And still haven`t quit...... ;D


Nice one Barry...
 
Oh my, Now that I've stopped laughing. Your electrifying story made me remember the time I pee'd on one when I was 7, However the results were not nearly the same (Thank God). Sure hope everything comes back to normal for you !!
 
So when you go visiting relatives, and they can't find the remote control, do they have you fill in until it's found ???
 
I felt your pain... Been there and got that T shirt.

It was 100 plus degrees, I was welding cast iron, 300 plus amps, with drag rod. Standing on reinforced concrete(rebar exposed). I had sears steel toed boots with wire nails through the soles. Seems while changing rods: me, my wet socks, boots wire nails and all decided to be the circuit back to the ground. As I lifted my boots from the ground I had wondeful arcs to the rebar. I could smell ozone and burning flesh and rubber boot soles. Had a wonderful metalic tast in my mouth. Now I know what the electric chair feels like.
Two years ago I bought a Tig welder AC/DC, pulse, etc. Sweaty arms beyond the gloves on a welding table makes a good place to get lit up too.

I know what the 2-seconds-feel-like-a-minute deal feels like when your body becomes the "ground" element. Not fun. Glad he can laugh about it now.
 
Thought all electric fence amps have DC pulsating outputs? They charge to max then the capacitor releases and again and again and again. They are made like that so when you grab it and it shocks the piss out of you (like you obviously did) then it drops power so you can let go of it. They are high voltage and very very very very low current. Just like a tazer. Current is what kills you. Whatever you have sounds like a death trap. Anyway, congrates on crapping yourself! I had that happen to me last winter. Not from electrocution, but I had the flu and thought I had to fart. Everybody does something absolutely dumb every once in a while. The key is to not kill yourself when you do those dumb things. Your still above ground so it makes it a great story!
 
I barely got started before I had a cramp in my gut from crying laughing.

I can relate to this story.

Remember those distributor capacitors back when.....How about the old lawn mowers with the kill tab on the plug that manage to separate when you needed to shut er down.

That reminded me of the new cure for the common cold. According to the instructions you drink a gallon of prune juice. Doesn't really cure the cold, just makes you afraid to sneeze 8)




Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.
 
When in the Army, my job was repairing field/base radios (tube models). I got bit many times with high voltage and sparks would jump from my lower to upper teeth with the goofy taste. My underpants were ok.
 
That was hillarious! I pee'd on one when I was a kid- knocked me down and pee'd all over myself, musta been like 6. Dad smelled me and accused me of playing with that big old hog in the pen again.... I said yup!

Then, this old guy neighbor showed me (8 year old super genius that I was) a cool trick to get nightcrawlers out of the ground- extension cord and two metal rods, I still remember how important it was not to touch them at the same time. He had me stick them in the ground---well, you can guess how this ended. I knew there was a reason he let me do the "most important part of the job".... while he directed me. Amazingly enough, I did collect enough worms to go fishing...albeit very tingly in my shoes for a couple days.
