Jeff...real characters up here in the north country.
p.s. Rob....you didn't see California....you saw Disneyland.

+1 You could drop 90% of all Americans in 90% of California and they'd never guess where they were. I used to be like that. "Snow, it snows in California?"

California sucks man... Sorry...

ALMOST as bad as the putrid state of Illinois!

Well; most of the putrid smell in Illinois comes from Chicago; the name of which came from the Indian name for the area; `Shikako': which means "skunk place."

Just a little bit of trivia few people know.

An electrician I knew took 16KV from hand and out through elbow on same side whilst perched in a tree. I have seen him lick his finger and "test " to see if 110V was "hot"

Similar story:

MANY decades ago <>, I was an auto mechanic at a Gibson's Store. One of the other mechanics there had survived getting tied up with 880V in his past.

He loved to unscrew the bulb out of the 110V "trouble light," turn it on, stick his finger in the socket, then "zap" us with the finger on the opposite hand.

Zap! OUCH!!!
