The question seems daft, but bear with me, gentlemen. Has anyone ever
had an electric shock that they feel lucky to have survived?


I got 600V/400MHz right through my little finger once. Reached in where I
shouldn't have. If the current had taken the long way to ground through my
feet or other arm, instead of the short way out the fingernail, I would have
at least been smoking from end to end.
