When I was seven or so I was walking down the road with my sister one afternoon. As we passed the large ranch on the right I made up my mind to finally go and touch one of their beautiful riding horses.

So, on my sister's encouragement, I made my way to the side of the house, braving the awful creek and seemingly insurmountable mass of poison ivy. There might have even been a garden snake!

I walked up to the fence, damn near close enough to spit on them now, but not close enough to touch, so I swung my leg over the fence. And it was at that moment that I learned an important life lesson - It takes more than just a simple fence to prevent a horse from wandering about; it takes an electric fence.

And so I sent about a few thousand volts surging through my pre-pubescent testicles, not once, not twice, but three times. The first time I stood there in shock, straddling the line. The second time I tried to jump off, which probably looked to be a fantastic sight - A short child wiggling about and yelling in pain. By the third I heaved myself off and onto the ground.

I ran/waddled all the way home and carefully examined the boys' condition when I arrived back in my room. Everything was in working order. At least I think. I'll let you know when I try to impregnate a girl.

My sister has not spoken of that day since it happened. It's one of the nicer things she's done for me.

Holy catnip, between them issy and dft now have like... a million stars! Yay!

I'd give you a hug if I could reach you all the way over there, and if dft hadn't put up the electric fence to keep me out.

hmmm. i'm torn since this IS the song, but the original embed was for the actual episode featuring the electric fence, complete with video to match. this one is more like a song with a stillframe video.

When I was young and had no sense
I took a piss on an electric fence

Hurt so bad, shocked my balls
then I took a crap in my over-alls.

Ahh... Beavis & Butthead had such wisdom.

I'm calling BS on this one. When I was a kid we used to pluck a dandelion and use it to touch an electric fence because enough of the current dissipated over the length of the stalk that all you felt was a very mild jolt. This video would have us believe the current would travel through five people -- all grounded -- with no loss? I don't think so.

The one scene I would have liked from Jurassic Park is the one where the T-Rex walks thru the disarmed electric fence to assault the vehicles then moments later one of them is pushed thru the same fence to land in a tree before falling a hundred feet.

These aren't really that fantastic, and you can notice these types of things in every single movie you'll ever watch. It just annoys me every time I experience it in real-time because it always takes away from my suspension of disbelief and makes me think about the movie's production.

Volts don't kill, amps do. Electric fences have pulsing current so "shockees" don't lock up and are able to free themselves.

Haven't taken a leak on an electric fence, but grabbed one just to check it out. Yes, it did smart a bit.
