- Well I couldn't pass this one up.
-
- In high school power mechanics class someone brought up the question...
-
- "If everybody forms a line, will everybody get shocked by the spark plug
- wire?"
-
- My teachers response was "Lets find out."
-
- Lucky me I was the guy at the end acting as ground. It did hurt quite a
- bit, but it was worth watching everybodies arms go flying straight up into
- the air :)
-
-
- I also seem to remeber cleaning a spark plug cable on a minibike when
- a little kid walked over and said "Maybe it works now!". He proceeded
- to pull the starter cord, and I proceeded to see little stars everwhere.
