    I lived in a barn loft apartment for a few years. The owner of the place was complaining about the carpenter bees. So for entertainment I had loaded some 357 magnum shells with number 8 shot. I stood out on the balcony and blasted carpenter bees out of the air with much joy. One of my coworkers drove up and saw the goings on. Thought it seemed like fun he should try. Later at his house with his neighbors help. They gathered the needed ingredients. 2 12gauge shotguns, a case of shells, and a case of beer. Once they were impaired enough they started shooting bees. The fun persisted until a bee lined up with the electrical cable feeding his house. Boom!!!!. That shot cut the neutral conductor coming into the house. The resulting shift in voltage burned up every electronic device in the house. Almost resulting in a divorce. If ya gonna be dumb you gotta be tough.

    One of the guys I worked with decided he was going to catch himself a gator. 5/16" stainless rod was bent, sharpened, welded together and welds built up so the barbs could be ground in. 1/4" aircraft cable was the line of choice. A whole chicken was the bait. Weekend comes and this fiasco was underway. As Gator headed out through the waste deep water with a handmade heavy duty 50/0 treble hook complete with whole chicken slung over his back with the hook dangling behind. Buy the light of a $1 flashlight he steps off in a hole about 200' from the bank. Upon stepping into the hole he jerks and sets the hook firmly in his own backside. The resulting paim causes him to yell and drop the flashlight. Gator is out there in the inky darkness, half sober hollering that the water moccasins have gotten him in the butt. He is hollering that every time he tries to swat the one that is bitting his butt away another one would bite his hand. After an agonizing eternity Gator makes is back to shore where his friends assess the damage of the snake bites. They soon discovered that the handy dandy super treble hook was what had bit Gator's butt. To make matters worse Gator's drunkest friend volunteered to remove the hook. Once firmly grasping the narliset of hooks. Gator's most impaired friend lost his balance and fell pulling Gator back on top of himself hook and all. Resulting in a trip to the emergency room for both. My part in the story you ask? I welded the hook together.

    I was stations in Germany in the mid80s and 19 years old or so. I was pretty soused on German dark beer and while cooking inebriated I set the smoke alarm off. Full of alcohol I was so I ripped the unit out of the wall. After the smoke dissipated and I drank some more I decided to reinstall the smoke detector. There were two exposed wires that I grabbed ahold of not once but twice and got thrown off the stool by 220v. Ahhh I said to myself the fuse panel. I went and flipped it off and then checked the wires, no electricity. I guess I figured that wouldn’t work cause the smoke detector would work when I got it hooked up. I went back and turned the breaker back on and proceeded to grab the wires again. 3rd time was the charm, I quit and a few days later called housing to come fix it. I think I burned out some brain cells that day!

    I am an Electrician. At least until I branched out and got into industrial maintenance. Electrical is still one of the components of my job. If I had a nickel for every jolt I could at least spend the day fishing and not working
