When I was young (about 11 I think), I accidently took a leak on a fence post that was holding up an electric fence....I guess I kinda know how that guy feels.... <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"></STRONG>

A long time ago, I was probably twelve, I had gone on a camping trip with my boy scout troop. One of the older boys (probably 16 or 17) actually was ASKING the scoutmaster if he would stop the van so that he could take a leak on an electric fence that was on the side of the road! Now THAT is stupidity! <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

Well, yeah, that was a pretty unusual starting point for an electro-lobotomy.... <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

Too bad you never had Ren & Stimpy when you were younger. "Don't whiz on the electric fence" was one of my favorite songs as a child. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

had a customer call me back after they picked up their new computer saying it was shocking them when they turned it on. i was naturally a bit concerned about the situation so i hopped in my car and drove to their house. when i get there, the guy starts yelling at me and telling me he is going to sue because it shocked him "real bad" . i asked him to calm down and eventually got him to show me where he kept his computer. it was down stairs in the basement on a metal table sitting on a concrete slab (clue number 1). i asked him to show me where it was that he had touched that shocked him and he pointed to the rear of the case. i check out the back and see that the seal had been broken (clue number 2) . i asked him if he had taken the computer apart. he denied it at first, then finally admitted that he had. when i asked why, he said "because it shocked me and i wanted to see if there were any losse wires". i went over and hit the power button, touching the back of the case... suprise suprise, no shock for me. i inform him of that and he barges up and touches the back and recoils with a little flich saying "it damn sure shocked me just then". i look down, and this guy is in his bare feet (clue number 3) . i patiently explain to the guy a bit of basic electronics and what a "ground" is. he looks at me and you can actually see the little light pop on in his head. he then decides to complain about how the machine had stopped working (i did notice that when i turned on the machine that it did not even start the POST), so i told him i would have to pop the case and see if he had dislodged anything from his exploring. he adamently refused to admit that he had done anything but look. as i started to pull off the case, i noticed that the floor was a bit damp and a nice watermarked trail came directly from the back of the washing machine (clue number 4). i get the case off and look inside, the chip on the modem actually looked like it had been shot with a phaser (a futuristic laser device for you non-trekkers). now after a thourough fact finding question session, i finally find out when this guy actually pulled the case and tried to "wiggle" the modem (re-read your clues to get the mental picture of what happend when the goofball... er client... decide to do so.)

he never did manage to call back with any more complaints or follow through with a law suit... wonder why? <IMG SRC="smilies/confused.gif" border="0">

Speaking of electricity....got the following in an email a few minutes ago:

So this neutron walks into a bar and orders a beer.
"How much will that be?" the neutron asks.
"For you," replies the bartender," no charge"

My reply:

So does an electron get paid to drink and a proton get stuck with
the tab???

Surgen General warning; Do not pee on an electric fence, this is hazardous to your health
That poor kid, I could just picture him standing there in soaked jeans holding a fried dimm ( Wilye Coyote, Super genius ) At least no seriouse injury was incurred <IMG SRC="smilies/tongue.gif" border="0">

How did the saying go? 'Assumption is the mother of all f%^k ups. I've never plugged anything into a live machine, but I have come close with psu's which have tripped the inline fuse when I plug the power cable in... I also had a hairline crack in the lead which connects the monitor and the back of the power supply. I plugged it in and the charge climbed up my arm. Had a numb arm for about 5 minutes <IMG SRC="smilies/rolleyes.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/tongue.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/rolleyes.gif" border="0">
