I know I am supposed to post this over on the tails board but I thought you guy would enjoy this The first dealership I worked for we rebuild magnetos with our test machine we could charge the condenser they would stay charged till the wire somehow came in contact with the case usually it was through someones hand we would charge one & then throw it to someone when they caught it they would get a good shock.
We had this old man that would come in to the shop & start picking up everything on the work benches looking at it. Some of the guys would lay their part out in line for reinstalling them he would mix them up on them. I decided I would slow him down from doing that so I charged a condenser & lay it up when I saw him coming toward my work bench I laid the condenser on a parts box. Sure enough that was the first thing he picked up at first he did not touch the wire but finally it got him. it was about 2 weeks before we found that condenser. Needless to say he was real careful what he picked up after that.

Pretty good story .... easy for you to do since you were "big" Dean. If you were "little" Dean you might have been a little more careful just in case he found out who did it.

When I was in college back in the sixties I was
taking a TV repair course. All the guys would be at the long bench testing out their radio chassis with voltmeters. They had these bar stools to sit on so you were pretty high. Usually everyone was quiet and concentrating which somehow adds to the humor.

The instructor had just finished explaining the difference between voltage and current. All of a sudden someone yelped and the guy and stool went flying. The instructor, hands behind his back had just passed the guy and without turning or flinching said "Like I said, VOLTAGE doesn't go
anywhere, CURRENT does!". Everyone just cracked up laughing.
