Some of these stories are hair rasing... and I'm too much of a weenie to
stick my tongue on a 9V battery...


That's how we tested batteries when I was a kid. 'Course there was the
dufus that tried it with a 90v B battery!

I'm sure when he could speak again he could tell you that there was
voltage present.

Better make that dufuses (dufusi?). When I was a kid I was tinkering
with a radio and unplugges the B battery connector to do something -
needing another hand I stuck it in my mouth. It was an 'interesting'
experience to say the least!
