One too few…?

Does he ever ask someone else to hold the end of the wire? It’s a way to share the lightning strike.

Why no. No I don’t.

Speaking of lightning, there’s a new record of 440 miles for a strike!

The top needs to be sharply pointed to dissipate the charge instead of being a ball.

Is it worth that head numbing vibration every time you whack the top of a door jam?

someone owes me a new keyboard! :P

Well now there will be one more!

I know a guy who was struck twice by lightening on different occasions. I was an ear witness to the second. The bolt hit the cord that connected him to the aircraft that he we crewing. I turned around to see him tear off his headset and slam it into the ground.

Most of the electricity must have grounded out somewhere else.

About as often as falling pianos

He seems very grounded to me.

The odds of being hit by lightning in your lifetime are 1 in 300,000 thousand. Golfer Lee Trevino has been struck by lightning 3 times, including once while playing in the 1975 Western Open.

These days it’s important to stay grounded.

They light up my life…

Yes, a shocking number, to be sure!

Bet he gets a ringing in his ears should lightning ever hit him.. should be using ear plugs just in case.

And that rig should quadruple his chances of being hit.

“New! Improved! Upgrade for your tinfoil hat. Order today!”

It looks like that would guarantee a lightning strike…

If he wants to avoid a shock, he’d best not look at his bar bill.

and he wants to be added to the list?

I’m pretty sure I don’t want to know where the rod is grounded to.
