ROFLMAO. Arg, 'tis a nice tingle. (Down Periscope - the radio guy
providing power to the system thru his body). I still have scars
from a crt zap, in HS.
Our old family mechanic had a habit of asking you to hand a wrench or
other metallic tool while he was holding a plug wire from a running
car. Not pleasant but hardly lethal...

My father once pulled the Number 1 plug wire from our '49 Dodge truck
and plugged in my finger to the wire and started the truck. I still
remember the look on his face when he grabbed the door handle, not
realizing that I had my other hand on the fender, to get out to me. It
slapped him across the cab! It seems magnetos put out more juice than
coils then. I can still check a plug wire by running it between my
fingers while the engine idles. I feel strangely at peace after I do.
