    Yep, I reached down to try and seat the plug wire boot while the mower was running one time. one time only.
    Never again. Seemed to be more fire in there than typical house wiring, and I was getting it through the rubber boot.

    You can't grow up on a dairy farm in WI and not pee on an electric fence at least once.
    I am surprised at such a sudden deterioration in a woman whose only ailment was a lazy anus.

    Well, it proved one thing. That electric fence is going to need somemore juice in it if its going to kill a burglar.

    I met Representative Gary Tauchen on an airplane one time. He never talked about peeing on his electric fence on his WI dairy farm. All he could talk about was unfunded mandates.

    Idk about now but it seems that as kids we have a tendency to grab things such as electric fences. Normally only once and then we remember that the fence "bites". I know I had done this as a child. Also once at my grandfathers my nephew grabbed the fence. He come running in the house "ouch ouch the fence bites". It was quite funny. Idk about all fences but the one my grandfather has is quite tame.

    It depends on what kind of fence charger you install. I have had many over the years, and the worst seem to be the pulsing types. One of them I had would hit the wire with 7kv for 1/10 second, every second. That sumbitch really hurt! Many of them just tingle, and are down in the 700v range.
