Funny stories! Great for a laugh afterwards.

I hate electricity...I have to work on 460v 3 phase a lot. Got hit pretty hard 10 years ago and burned my hand. Now I err in the side of ultra caution!!

Funniest thing I saw was a welder setting indian style, cross legged on a steel drum, welding on it. He for some reason took his glove off and installed a rod in the stinger......and them took his index finger and touched the very end of the rod to reposition it in the stinger....

I swear he screamed the funniest scream I ever heard and it made the muscles in his legs straighten out...looked like he levitated about two feet off the drum...
Then just laid their while we ran over too him. He had a crazed look on his face and just said " golly damn hoss...that hurt"

We laughrd so hard..... What is it they say, its all fun till someone gets hurt, then it is hillarious.

LOL to funny! My wife about wet herself reading this one. She knows oh to well as she had one in her purse at Elburn days, had her hand s full of sweet corn she just bought. She went to snap purse with free hand and must have hit trigger. Guy behind her caught here as she fell! This was thru jeans and leather purse! They thought she got stung bye a bee or wasp bye the sound.

We had a Husky names Ben that could dig out of every fence we ever had. After we moved into a house with a brand new chain link fence Ben would patrol the yard looking for a new place to dig an escape tunnel then he would wait until no one was around and he would be gone like a shot. After a month of this I decided to put in an electric fence so I stopped at the feed store and picked up everything I needed to electrify Ben’s yard.

I had already tried an invisible fence with Ben with no effect. I turned the shock collar for the invisible fence up to the max and Ben would just run at the invisible barrier yelp when he crossed the line and keep going.

Because Ben was a digger and not a climber I put the electric fence about 6” off the ground all along the bottom of the chain link fence. The weather was damp with a light mist and 6” from the ground didn’t produce any arching so everything looked good. I set the discharge unit to high (like everyone with a ‘Y’ chromosome more is ALWAYS better). With everything set I went in the house confident that Ben would find the electric fence as soon as he tried his first escape attempt. I was wrong.

I had no sooner sat down and looked out the patio door when Ben trotted around the yard looking at the addition to the bottom of the chain link fence. Then he stopped and lifted his leg! With the ground wet from an all day mist poor Ben peed on the fence and was instantly knocked to the ground just like he had been hit by a lightning bolt. It did stop his digging because he didn’t leave the patio for three whole days.

And so it went. After two or three days Ben would start to venture off the patio until he was roaming most of the yard again then he would be back on the patio again for two or three days.
