i was out 1 sunday ferreting with a guy from work. we came across an electric fence so he said to me is it turned on. so i tapped it with my hand nothing so i tapped it again a little bit slower still nothing.so i said to him it must be turned off i put 1 leg over and grabed the fence with my hand it give me what i thought was a very big shock i could feel the bones in my arm shaking he just stood there and said it is usually turned on and just laughed like feck at me looking back it was funny but it was no fun at the time
