At the ripe old age of ten earth years, this body on a dare peed on an electric fence powered by a 12v lantern batter. The wire of the fence is attached to the positive side while the ground is the negative.

A friend said, “I dare you to pee on the fence.” (keep in mind an electric fence pulses between neutral and zap.)

I knew the wire was dead between pulses so I said, “Okay, watch this.”

Proceeding with a finely tuned spray, I got fucking nuked. Zapped. Pulsed. I screamed.

The positive you say?

Well, I peed positively on a positive wire in a positive confident state of mind… and… I learned.

The positive take-away from this is 1. Don’t accept stupid challenges from stupid people. 2. Never pee on an electric fence even if the fence is unplugged.
