When I was 11 yrs old my older cousins out at my Aunt & Uncle's farm dared me to pee on the electric fence. Since my understanding of electricity at the time was limited to the Bugs Bunny / Roadrunner hour, I took this bet. There was a fairly steep learning curve as I quite suddenly found the kind of lead that NOBODY wants in their pencil. I fell over backwards,soiling the front of my clothing before I was able to recover my "composure". With my cousins laughing their heads off, I headed back up to the farm house for a change of clothes and some sympathy from Aunt Mary for my wounded pride. Wrong. She was in stitches with tears in her eyes and all I got out of the deal was fresh clothes. They are both still alive and I still get to listen to them tellin' that yarn! Learning curves! Some are steeper than others... :)
