Just figure out how many fingers that's worth before doing anything.


Jim - Always count my fingers before getting brave.


And make sure not to take a leak over the back of the boat?

Back before college, one of the shops I worked in had a condensor
charger for checking Briggs condensors. You charge it up and watch
leak down then discharge because if you didn't you get a hell of a
shock. Boss's kid always came in after school and thought he could
mess with anything he wanted, take your tools, etc. So I charged a
condensor up just before I knew he'd be there, and sat it on my steel
bench. Kid comes in, and of COURSE leans over the bench and grabs said
condensor, well, tried to. When a spark hit his hand when it was about
half an inch away, he let out a scream and hauled ass!
