Joe,

My first shock was when I was a kid. I put my habd across the plug while I was trying to unplug it. The worst shock I had was when a plumber cut a wire in the wall. I "thought" the circuit was DEAD. But it wasn't and I reached inside the wall to find what was left of my wire. Well I grabbed the neut in 1 hand and the phase in the other and I was stuck. The lights in the basement were going dim. My boss thought that there was a brown out. NOPE It was just my nose lighting up. I got off it after what seemed like an hour. I was OK but I was shoock up. The funniest shock I ever got was when I was installing alarm wire. We worked with 110 vdc and I didn't realize it at the time. (1975 I think.) well I was above a grid ceiling and as I was lowering myself down through the ceiling the phase wire caught my lip. It threw my head back against the grid ceiling. Which then proceeded to spring my head back toward the wire. Back and forth I went for about 4 times. I looked like a bell clapper inside a church bell. I finally got away but my lip swelled up real large.
