Who has ever electricuted themselves?
was lifting out a cooker hob today to find the wires in the back were loose, the live touched the metal base and sent 240v through my upper torso!!  lol
what a rush!!

its the amperage which is worse than the voltage.

See how much pain you can take by touching the terminals of a 9V battery to your tongue, any more than a few seconds and I'd be impressed...

Me and a mate cut across some farmland once, didnt notice the electric cattle fence. That hurt.
But there again we deserved it for being somewhere we shouldnt have.

me - I put a new bulb in at work - but used the wrong sized bayonet cap - it went live as it touched down, but my fingers slipped down the side
bulb ended up across the restaraunt - narrowly missing some old guys soup!

Drilled through a mains cable once but somehow managed to avoid a shock.
Licking a battery at school was closest i've come

Would have been better if the electric travelled up through your 'metatarsal', heard enough of this bone to last me decades 
I peed on sheep wire once, then deceided to grab it........... Well the shock was bloomin bad, i coudln't feel my arm and felt sick for about ten mins!

I did it last time I ironed a shirt cos it had a frayed cable, needless to say it was a fucking good excuse to not bother ironing again
