Well, me and friends had a competion of touching a hot wire fence, but to take it one step further we run a water hose on the ground and the got the dirt wet from the ground to where we were standing, then took off your shoes and grabed a holt.

Then another day, one of my friends found his mom's stun gun, and he hit me with it. not cool

Don't even get me started about welding machines, it seems I'm the guy that hold the pipe in place while my Dad welds, I learned the hard way that leather soled boots doesn't resist electricty much on wet dirt.

Been zapped so many times by a high tension lead (spark plug wire) that it really, really, really makes me mad anymore when it happens.

LOL,I know what you mean I still don't like the old motors that use the grounding strap to shut them off.I remember when I was a kid me and a buddy were riding double on a dirt bike,and we went to go thru this big mud puddle,well there was a big log submerged in the middle we hit that and went down and the throttle hit the bank and stuck wide open I got out ok but my buddy didn't do so well when he landed his hand was stuck on the spark plug.I can still picture the way his body was doing the floppy fish in the water it seemed like five min or longer but in reality it was under a couple of min before the bike shut down,I can still remember laughing so hard when it was all over and he was pissed at me for not trying to drag him off of it.

Same here.
Worst one for me was I was leaning over a car one day while it was running and for some STUPID reason I decided to unplug the coil wire from the distributor.
I couldn't let go until the engine quit spinning.
