Best Aircraft in many different roles

Actually, I think that's a good thing Lanc! I once found out that a fence was electrified when I urinated on it. That hurts like hell!

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

just wanted to find out if it was on??

 

[evangilder]

No, definitely not. I had no idea. After that, I just didn't pee anywhere near a fence, just in case!

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

didn't you realise it was an electric fence?? i can't speak for the americans but our electric fences are very visible as electric.............

 

[evangilder]

I was in the North woods of Wisconsin at the time. There was no sign at all. I think it is different today. But it was very rural there and I don't think too many people go where we were.

That reminds of a Ren Stimpy episode, when Stimpy is playing that game "Don't whizz on the electric fence" - out of anger, Ren does...and it blows up, Satan says "So, you whizzed on the electric fence" ...people who have seen that episode will laugh..those that haven't...eh, you're unimportant.

well over here electric fences are orange and you can see the wires........

 

[evangilder]

Nope, not that one. It was just an ordinary fence, so I just drained the lizard. I sensed that something was amiss immediately. Damn near pissed all over myself trying to get away from it!

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

were you desparate to go??

 

[evangilder]

Yup, my back teeth were floating.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

and in this wood, you couldn't find a tree??

 

[Nonskimmer]

I cringe! I cringe!
Holy Jesus, the pain must have been...well...really painful!

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

it's like when i said to CC the other day "but it would handle like..." aand i couldn't think of a good example so i ended up sayin "...sumit that doesn't handle that well"

 

[evangilder]

I never said it was the brightest thing to do. Yes, a tree would have been a heck of a lot safer! And yes, it was painful. I had a tingle in my winkie, and it wasn't pleasurable!

No they aint, its regular silver wire with several black clips on and it and signs saying "20000 volts! Danger of death". They aint orange.

 

[wmaxt]

Over here most electric stock fences are a single wire runnung between 6.8 and 24 volts. Enough to let you know You Really Dont Want to Pee on Me, but not enough to really hurt you.

 

[Lightning Guy]

On my grandfather's farm you could only spot the electric fences by seeing the plastic mounting points ever few posts. I could see how a mistake like that could be made, once!

 

[cheddar cheese]

I actually enjoy the feeling of mild electric shocks

 

[evangilder]

Then give it a try CC. You will never think of doing it again, unless you're into that kind of thing...

I have no idea what the voltage was, as there was no sign denoting my impending danger (Obviously). It was over 20 years ago, so I don't know if it is the same type they use today or not.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

CC, i'll gladly take you to any farm and show you..........
