I think it was back in high school the science teacher talked about someone getting electrocuted by hitting the light switch with wet hands. Enough dirt and dust and lint, high humidity was enough to get the electrons to the plastic switch - and then wet hands...

I always make sure my hands are dry to this day!

Good idea. I always make sure I’m not standing in a puddle of water or on a wet floor when I turn on anything electric.

We were playing golf last week when it started lightning which is another bad situation/place to be in under those conditions. One of the guys in our group yelled “Everybody grab your One Iron. Even God can’t hit that.” LOL.
