"I shocked myself a couple times with my train set. of course it was nothing serious..."

Dittos with the shocks. I got a Lionel, remember the three rail tracks, that came with smoke pellets...really great effect. It wasn;t long before the smoke pellets were used up so, genius that I was, I substituted aspirin tablets. Talk about gettin' sick.......

My brother and I used to grab onto the electric fence, grit our teeth, and wait for the neighbor girls to walk by. The trick was to look non-chalante as each jolt of electricity jerked through your body. A simple touch on the back of the neck, and boy would they wail.

In Cuba we used to kick over small cactuses, pick them up by the roots (gloves were helpful), swing them around and throw them at the opposing army of kids. Of course, they were doing the same to us.
