#3 I Dunno, I once walked across a brand new carpet at a just opened restaurant, and threw an inch long spark against the aluminum window frame.

I couldn't believe it, But I've played with Van De Graff generators and they throw a full 4 inches so I walked across the carpet again, and this time held a quarter when I neared the window frame, yep, a full inch, like throwing lightning.

#9 Drop the woolen skivvies and run!

Every girl's crazy 'bout a charged up man.

I have a hilarious story to share. My uncle, during the throes of romance with his latest fling, had his pacemaker kick in on his ass!

His lady friend is a few years older than he is, so he felt his pride demanded he continue till she was through at least...

He didn't stop the pumping til the third charge kicked him like a mule. Evidently she felt the charge in her teeth and asked him to stop! He felt like an old man he said, but old girl just said "Honey, you were electrifying" after the incident.

They've had several dates since then.

Nothing like a redneck girl, I tell you what.

True story.

#10 "measured a current of 40,000 volts"
I guess journalists and their editors don't even know basic science. Current is measured in amperes, a.k.a. "amps".

And that's an implanted defibrillator, Elvis*, not a pacemaker.

#11 If he had only been packing an eel-skin wallet and popped a Velamint, we might have found the secret to cold fusion.
