Default Shocking experience weighing anchor.

Your wind generator is not hooked up right. You completed a
circuit when you touched the chain contacting the water.

You were anchored near a radio transmitter tower, and got a shock
induced by some parasitic pick up?

Your pacemaker malfunctioned?

You pulled up a broken fence charger wire?

Very close, very close


Close? (True story) Once, I won a pizza shooting a blackpowder
blunderbuss, a 'Brown Bess' flintlock, with a one second delay
after pulling the trigger, no less! I aimed, pulled the trigger,
was perplexed when it didn't go BOOM, I unsquinted, moved my
head, looked at the target with both eyes, then it went boom and
kicked, and the apple, at 50 yards, exploded. The guy offering
the pizza shoot, covered in apple pulp, said, "Close!"

I think the apple was wired, and I was an unwitting shill. His
business picked right up, after that. No body else got the apple,
or a pizza.

A bad connection is the windmill counts as not being hooked up
right in my book.

Where's my pizza?
