Stupid friends and Stupid stories

A few years ago in shop class, we were doing electronics. Along with electronics, comes, obviously, alot of work with 9 volt batteries. We got into the habbit of testing batteries by sticking them on our tounges and feeling for that little shock to let us know there's power left.

We were doing experiments with bigger 6 volters, and seeing if we could juice up our machines by hooking a number of them up in serise, and then using them. I think we got something like 8 of them all running together, and when somebody came up with the idea that we should take the two contact wires and do the tounge test. After some hesitation a good friend of mine took them and slowly moved them towards his out stretched tounge. After about a minute of calculated approach, we heard an audible crack and my friend was screaming, not severly, but in that comical way that you can't help but laugh at.

"I nee wadder" he managed to say in between those oh so comical screems as he walked very quickly out of the room. When he came back there were two rather large dark red spots on his tounge, and he was having trouble talking for the rest of the day. It was agreed by all, included the victim to be a hilarious incident, and we all recall it fondley even to this day.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
