Laundry CAN KILL YOU(guys)!!

This is a true story from an hour ago.
(laundry induced elctro-lobotomy)
I'm listening to music on the Walkman(ole-skool baby) and headphones..not earbuds..real man Sony soft head phones.

Go in to fold the freshly dried towels.
Reach into the dryer and hear a few static crackles, no big deal.
Pull one out to flip it and fold it(easy pervs) and the 1st flip....11,000,000volts shoot up the headphone cord and 5,500,000 volts enter each ear.

In 1/1000th of a second I'm on the floor yelling for God to take me and twitching like a fresh road kill woodchuck.

Thank God I was folding towels..had something to clean up the electrocution induced bladder voiding once I realized I wasn't dead.

Holy Batcrap Robin....I haven't gotten that big a shock since I tried to test a furnace transformer(10k volts) with a residential volt meter in the '80s...on a dare, after a 5th of Jack...or the time I peed on an electric fence, not on purpose, with a faulty pulser.

Holy Christ, Carl...that's funny as heck.

How about a radio that is NOT attached to your person?

you have to be making these story's up for our entertainment Carl, because there is no way in hell anyone could survive as many "incidents" as you claim to have.

I wish....
I wouldn't have a power chair in my kitchen, an Orthopedic surgeon on retainer, and a collection of crutches and canes that the Hospital borrows from time to time.

Repped you for my laughter at the homemade shock therapy.
Do you feel better about life now?
