Did ya Ever Peeee On An Electric Fence?

[Jeff H]

When we was kids I heard about other kids making that little ooops. :--)

 

[tgbol]

No, but I had a quarter horse that bit the fence when I was giving him a corn cob. He didn't blame me but He stayed away from corn for almost a year.

I never did it but whenever a city kid came around it was one of our first initiations if he wanted to hang with the country folks. Looked like it hurt.

When I was young and playing dog for my dad out hunting, I was walking in a creek and walked right into an electric fence. Felt like someone stuck a steel rod from my head to my toes. I kept my eyes open for wire after that.

 

[vinconco]

my kid brother "beat" me in a contest to hit the little wire first. I'm sure his shrink has heard about that one..... :{

 

[nickleinonen]

Out driving in the hills with old friend BDUI (Before present DUI laws) having a beer or two and checking herd. Stop to drain lizard, and he says "What would happen if I peeeeeeeeeeeeeed on a eleeeeeectricccccc fence?" I didn't have to answer. Said it didn't work right for two weeks, girlfriend was POed... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... .

Not thinking one day, I had positioned myself a bit close between my fence and one of my stallions while brushing him. It had been raining so the ground was working real well. I backed into the fence and took it right on my spine between my shoulder blades. I saw stars that day big time. Course, I shared the pain with the horse. For quite some time after that, he would give me this "look" when he saw me with a brush.



Anyway, if your going to set someone up, figure on the wetter it is, the better the bite is going to be.

nope--but I had a neighbor who had horses and put an electric fence around his yard--probably to keep us kids away more than anything--anyway my good buddy would always walk by and grab it and pretend he was getting shocked(the neighbor turned it off a lot) and he would beg me to touch him(you know the touch 'em and they can let go thing)--I would finally give in and he would laugh at me---well you guessed it one day the fence was on and he latched onto that thing and started two stepping and hollerin' like nothing I'd seen before--he was begging and screaming for me to touch him and I wouldn't---after a good while his antics were still going top notch, so I finally touched him and whap I got zapped and he let go and ran home crying---he never touched that fence again--but it sure didn't cure from doing other things---chris

Not an electric fence,but.....

Had an electricty teacher who used to work for a local hydro crew,and for kicks they would knock the grounding strap off the big trucks when working next to the transformers. Supposedly the next guy to touch the truck would get a shock from the static discharge. One day his regional manager shows up out of the blue,and of course they had removed the ground from the truck. They managed to keep him busy (without touching the truck) and finally he wandered off. A few minutes later they heard a scream from the other side of the truck,and when the ran around,there was the supervisor,out cold,on his back,pants around his ankles,still holding his wiener. I guess he decided to take a leak on the side of the truck. OUCH !!



Always wonder if it really was a true story,but either way it was hilarious when he told it to the students.



Alsomy grandfather used to use an old automotive coil,a signal flasher and some copper wire to keep the cat from $hitting in his garden,man what a sight when they hit it. Never saw cats jump so high !

When I was going to tech school, we would charge up a big capacitor and let it sit where some newbie would touch both wires at the same time.



Working at a ski resort sitting on top the lift lines in a hooch watching for accidents. Always two on duty and someone would relieve one via snowmobile. Guy I was working with says watch this. Whips out this crank powered magneto, wires it to the metal storm door. When the relief put his hand on the door, the other guys cranking like mad. Relief could not let go and let out one heck of a scream.



I know what the magneto's feel like from touching pony motor plug wires on older Cat's. Numb arm the rest of the day.

Never did that. But we cut down a cedar tree once on my wifes grandfather place. I swung it around to put it in the truck and the end hit the electric fence:--) Felt like I put my hands on a yellow jacket nest.

I had a six mile long 12' high electric deer fence around one of my orchard blocks whose charger was rated for a 80 mile long fence, it was strong. Wires were a foot apart alternating between hot and ground with a ground rod every quarter mile. It was on a timer set to only run at night. One dewy morning I slipped between two wires to start a pump, on my return trip though the fence it went on, didn't know I could move so fast, hurt for two weeks. The power must have gone off and reset the timer to the wrong time, after that I replaced the timer with a photocell.



Deer are smarter than we give credit, I've watched them test to see if the fence is on with their whiskers. If it is isn't on they slip right though. Before I added another wire at 6" off the ground I would see marks in the dirt where the deer had lain on their side and slithered under the lower hot wire at about one foot.

I never did - but man oh man did we have fun with the city boys that came our way on vacation!! #ad

We had electric fence at the farm at Millersville that ran on the big six volt batteries. I finally got tired of replacing the batteries ( we thought they were expensive in the early 70's) and finally replaed it with a 12 volt group 30 or 31. It ran forever, Fried the weeds that got on it but the most interesting thing was that when we would walk the fence to check it we would find dead rabbits , oppossums , coons, whatever that the fence had fried going under the bottom wire. :--)

My dog fence is one of the 20 mile pulsers types. I have backed into it once or twice. It feels like take the sparks plug wire off of a running lawn mower.

The dogs have learned to fear it. They stay about a foot away whether it is on or off. They also don't dare dig under the fence anymore.

I have never peed on and electric fence and I NEVER want to fine out. My electric fence will throw sparks 1-2 inches and fry the heck out of slugs (NW thing).

Dogs

I was just a kid working down at the local service station cleaning up every day. I would go out and wipe down the pumps every morning. This big ole dog would stand across the street and watch me. Every day he would come over right after I cleaned the pumps and pee on them!



One day ole Bud (the guy who owned the station) say "We can cure that dog of that. " He gets out an old telephone mag with the crank and a steel grate. Puts one wire to the pump and sets the grate at the foot of the pumps with the other wire hooked to it. I went out and wiped the pumps down as the dog watched from across the street. I finnished and went into the shop and took my place at the crank, all of us looking through the little shop door windows. The dog walks over and lifts his leg, I am cranking like he!! and hear "YIPpppE ". Stop cranking and run over to the window just in time to see the dog with his tail in the air and a trail of poop heading down the road at a high rate of speed!



Everybody was laughing except me. I knew who had to go out and clean the poop up. From that day on though, the dog would give the gas station a WIDE bearth and me a dirty look...



My worse experience with electricity was a ignitor plug wire on a L-13 turbine engine. I am holding the lead in one hand while the pilots and my gunner are shooting the breeze in the cockpit. The (wise a$$) doorgunner says " Now?". I say "NOT now!" . "WHAM" I am laying on my back and trying to catch my breath, must've flown off the engine deck. Wise a$$ is leaning over me saying "You going to die on me?" My only words were "No, but you are!!!!" It burn't my fingers pretty good and made me VERY leary of doorgunners... ... .

No, but our company had a customer who had grown up in the farming country near Lubbock, TX. He was plowing on his dad's old steel-wheeled "Poppin' Johnny" (John Deere). He stopped to relieve himself and stepped (barefooted) into the fresh-plowed earth. He wondered if he could kill the engine on the John Deere by whizzing on the magneto. He said, "When I came to..... "
