As a kid, I used to purposely stick my fingers between prongs while plugging Christmas lights in in order to electrocute myself. It’s shocking that I came out from that unscathed.

Electrocution is electric execution. Assuming you’re still alive, you shocked yourself. Pet peeve of a former electrician, forgive me.

I share your pain. In EMS, I have to bite my tongue on every “electrocution” call.

Eh, you only get a little tickle from that. Now completing a circuit across your chest is a doozy. Would not recommend.

I had that feeling… I never did it again. I am lucky it was a split second or I’d be dead.
