Well, being raised on a farm and ranch, my two younger brothers and I sometimes chased each other around with hotshots. Yes, it was not pleasant but it was sure fun (at the time) 50 years ago.

Hotwire fences have been another experience over the years. About 10 years ago, I was working around a livestock waterer that was adjacent to a high tensile hot fence. I must have got too close as I got the shock of my life through one of the rivets on my jeans. I almost peed my pants.

Growing up one of our neighbors had an electric fence to keep in their show dogs. Don’t know if that is the same thing. My idiot brother and his idiot friends like to go up to it and grab it just to have hair like Billy Idol and feel the jolt. I never understood that cheap thrill.

Got er from a magneto on a JD two banger one time.

That was far worse than any electric fencer.

Just about the time I tried to let go it would grab me again...until I ended up on the ground.
