Note to self: Always unplug electrical appliances before working on them.

Yep, thats right. I needed to open up my dryer, and collect all the money that had fallen in it. I would not have done it if there was only petty change in there. Bu somehow a $20 bill made its way in there.

So, I opened it up, and was trying to let the front cover down. When I noticed it was attached to a switch. So, being the dumbass that I am, I grabbed that switch, and pulled. Well, the damn thing decided to bite back :)

Holy shit, that sucker shocked the hell out of me. My damn arm still tingles right now :D

So, the lesson for the day. Always unplug electrical equipment before tearing them apart. :silly2:

Wouldn't a simpler lesson be to check your pockets before you do laundry? :rolleyes:

Hope your arm stops tingling soon...:)

Did you get the money after all that !!...i hope it was worth it .

:p :p

Guess you are now the Most Electrifying Man, In AF Entertainment!!!!. hehehe:D

Isn't that something you should have learned as a kid?

Yikes - I'll bet you yanked back in a hurry :D!

I can remember the electric fence that ran around our barn, where we had a few beef calves chewing up the grass. I had a few jolts off that thing - but I bet it's nothing compared to the Clothes dryer :).

Don't clothes dryers have a huge plug on them too (meaning more juice inside)?

:hehehe::hehehe::hehehe:

That's what I was thinking too....

I'm well known for "money laundering"... not of the illegal variety, but doing just as KB did... :hehe:

As for getting a little jolt, I always manage to keep the money in the washer and within an arm's length :)

Maybe KB can pick up another Mod spot as mod of those with electric personalities.... :right:





PS--KB---I do hope your arm ceases its tingling soon.... otherwise it might hinder your typing abilities :kiss on cheek:

Well, the electric dryers do, but mine is a gas. So it has a normal plug, for the little stuff. :)

After reading that and the other thread about you getting knocked out soo many times i have to say....

:shocked:Heep....you are a walking time bomb :shocked:

Thanks....I guess....:D:D:D

LOL, tell us more stories Heep. I remember when I was little I stuck my finger in an open socket to see what it did. It was fun until my finger was sore. Licking batteries is also always a smart thing to do. :D

*lol* In 8th grade my graduating class was a masochistic group...

First came "penburns" This is when we took ball point pens (Bic preferably) and ran the tips back and forth on the desk until the friction made them literally hot enough to burn flesh.

Then we got laptops to learn how to type, and everyone decided it was fun to take the laptop end of the charger plug and stick it on the end of their tongue for a little thrill... :rolleyes:

What can I say? The Class of 2000 isn't as special as everyone thought... or maybe we were "special" as in that way and not the other way... :bloated:

in school they try to scare us so much about electricity... especially in computer engineering last year. They tell us we're gunna die if we touch any electricity (well not any, but that's what it seems like)

People in my Auto class grab both of the spark plug testors and get a nice shock :D

also in exit wounds (i think it was) all those cops are seeing who can last the longest standing being shocked..... who's seen it?

Ya. It was in Exit Wounds and it was crazy. Cops seeing who could last the longest shock from what looks like a stungun with variable settings.

Now thats gotta hurt :shocked:

I doubt Segall could actually take that (Even though he's an Aikido Champ)

LOL, Today I was in homeroom and There was a Van Degraf Generator sitting on the desk. I asked my teacher if I could play around with it, and he let me. So I turned it on (Not knowing your supposed to put your hands on first) and then approached it and recieved a Tesla COilish Effect, multiple times. I eventually turned it off and the tingling later stopped.

As for tomorrow, my teacher is letting me hook up some copper wire to the door knobs of the classroom and to the generator. Now I'm evil! :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:

Ah, electricity is overrated.

Actually I am usually too lazy to do that. Whenever I am working on actual equipment I unplug it. But when working on the electrical in the house, I am just too damn lazy to walk all the way out to the breaker box to turn off the current.

That was until the incident. . . . . . . . .

that's sweet... sounds like you have a cool teacher :)
what class is that in?

You all remember grade school in science class when teachers showed us how to make magnets out of some copper wire a nail & a 9volt battery?
Well that was a bad idea on my teachers part to tell us that electricity makes for a good recharge for magnets.

Visuall: Think 5year old boy, teacher told boy electricity will give a magnet a bigger charge. Now think 5yr old again, I got an idea whats the biggest source of energy available to me? "a house plug"!

You got it I stuck a horse shoe magnet in a plug cause I wanted a very power full magnet! [/SIZE]
Shit that was the first time I was hurled accros a room & knocked out ended up in the hospital!

Burnt fingers! & tingling all over for a couple of day's!:eek:

Now I am afraid of electricity!:D

lol :D:D

I can just picture this little kid slowly reaching his hand out to touch the magnet, then a big blue bolt flies from the magnet to his hand, the lights all flicker, and he goes flying backwards butt first :D:D:D
