"Watt?"

Ohm my, that must have been a shock to his system but I doubt he could resist the surge to charge that cable on his 5 finger discount.

His utility never reached capacity, but at least he wasn’t insulated from reality. It’s a shame because all his friends say he was a real live wire, especially when he got amped up. When he grabbed that copper, he came a cropper. Resistance was futile.

A thief in Germany was charred beyond recognition by a 10,000 volt electric shock when he tried to steal a live copper cable

Yo! You! Out of the gene pool!

“The authorities identified him by his hand which was blown off his body”

That’s gotta hurt.

I'm sure at the time his headphones had him movin' & groovin' to the electric keyboards of the UK group, Orchestral Manouevres in the Dark...I want some energy - the ultimate discovery - electric blue for me - never more to be free...I want some energy - elec-tricity - all we need is to learn to save - and if were made to throw away - it doesn't change the city cost - the alternative is only one - the final source of energy - solar electricity - electricity - electricity - electricity - electricity - electricity."

Well, if the cable was thick enough and burned into his hand, put him down in front and let him conduct for the orchestra.

Can't. It blew off his hand.

At best he's only a semiconductor...

I want to see his picture. Maybe I can recognize him.

Check out the picture of “A technician checks transmission cables in Baracaldo, Spain July 20, 2007” on the link at Reuters. Someone has a sense of humor or they are stupid.
