My father was an electrician and tested to see if wires were hot by grabbing them with his fingers but had to moisten them a little because his hands were so dry. I, on the other hand, have oily skin and make a good conductor.
Someone I used to work with told me about an incident where he used to work. An electrician switched off a circuit breaker, and put a lockout tag on it. As he worked on the circuit, unknown to him, the tag fell off. Someone saw open breaker, and switched it back on. Another worker saw the electrician convulse, and threw a hard object, breaking some of the electrician’s ribs, but knocking him away from the live circuit, saving his life.

New presidential election validation body: the Electrified College.
The winner of the presidential election is the one who can hang onto a 1-mega watt live wire the longest without passing out.

But, he’s not touching the bare wire. How is he getting a shock?
