Not to be out done

So I read this post

and kudo's I needed a laugh yesterday, and laughed so hard I cramped, but couldn't help but think of my own story and its not actually my story its my brothers story.

Brother lived in a rental in the country and had a large pen in the back in the back where he kept his two horses and a couple of pet goats. Well if you have ever had goats you know that you better have a fence that you can't pour water through if you expect to keep them in, its not about hunger, or desire, its about not wanting to be inside a fence, they just need to escape.

So my brother goes and gets the biggest joule charger from tractor supply, hooks it up, runs the wire around the pen, ties the ground back to the existing fence and waits. Goats are like velociraptors in this reguard, they "test the fence", and it wasnt long before the figured out that if they were really fast the shock was not the bad. So he calls me, I say you need a ground rod you live in the sandy part of town. So off to tractor supply for a ground rod he goes. Installs an 8 footer hooks it all back up and waits.

Sitting on his back porch, he watches the goats go through the fence, did I mention that while watching them from his back porch he had gone and gotten a couple of cold "refreshments". So he is frustrated now, he walks out to the fence and grabs hold of the wire and nothing, not a shock, not a nip, not a spark, so now he is pissed and goes back in the house for a few more "refreshments"

Now after changing out of his work boots and jeans, note work boots with oil resistant soles that are over an inch thick and made of leather, he returns to the fence to determine why there was no shock. .... does anyone see where this is going?

He puts his refreshment down (cold sweating refreshment which has now left his hand wet)
Neals down on one knee in his shorts (vs squating in the sand with work boots on)
Grabs the grounding rod (never ground yourself first)
and then Grabs the hot wire (hillarity ensues)

You never ever grab a wire that might carry current, your hand will contract and you cant let go, so he now is fully grounded and holding both ends so as he is starting to scream and piss him self he finds a way to unplug the charger

Story of the ages
