Got zapped by my Engine !

When I was a kid, I was working on a lawn mower. The shut-off for it was out of adjustment (thx to me :rolleyes:) so there was no way to shut it off. But the plug wire was right there clipped to the spark plug so I thought "I'm quick, I'll just knock it off with my hand."

Well, I knocked it off alright. And the spark jumped from my leg (I had shorts on) to the mower metal handle. I proved right then and there that a white boy COULD jump to the sky!!

I had a nice burn mark on my leg for a few days where the spark jumped the gap. Learned my lesson early in life!
