To add to that: Any redneck boy can tell you - Mythbusters LIED. If you whiz on an electric fence, you WILL know you did it.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

This redneck did the next worst thing at about age 7.  I spit on the electric fence, and got a jolt I'll never forget.

Almost as much fun as getting the new kid to put their tongue on the flagpole in winter here....

You're supposed to get cleaner separation when you spit, though.

You'd think, but  it was one of those slimy drizzling spits.

Maybe the worst thing I ever did was talk this elementary school kid who wouldn't stay where he belonged into wizzing on the sparkplug of my buddy's running Cushman Eagle.  I'll bet that kid never had any children.

Put the plug back in before the boat goes in the water.

Been there, done that... TWICE. One time, found the plug (it was on a chain), the other time the plug was gone... You can screw a watermelon rind in there and it will get you home...

I've been there as well.  Good thing my boat had enough foam in it to get me back to the boat ramp.

No, it doesn't.

If anything, it gets worse each time because you realize that every rejection pushes you closer and closer to the real possibility that you may never find the right person in time to have healthy children. Repeated rejection without any success is incredibly scarring.

Had a new feller showing up at the gas station after work... Did that trick on him... He screamed like a woman, ran out with his pants around his ankles and fell in the alley... peeing all over ... screaming and crying, and carrying on... But worst of all, he was discovered wearing ladies panties that day... He moved away shortly thereafter... It was all in fun, but that's the sort of thing he'd never live down...  :shrug: :whistle:  **nononono*

While aboard ship we had a new recruit show up. Pantsing was going on at the time so, of course, someone did it to the new guy. With pulling his pants down they caught his underwear as well. Oh My! Turns out the guy had some kind of micro penis. It was as big as the tip of your pinky. Well, ...uh...sorry dude. We were all more embarrassed than he was. Like you said, he could never live that down. Not that anyone ever talked about it...

Yeah riiiight... That'll get him a nickname that is impossible to live with... All he can do is go away and hope for better elsewhere... But that ain't easy anymore, because internet.

Well, there was a short while in the mid 70s that wimmmen were trying to sell guys on bikini skivvies.

A guy I worked with in the steel plant was walking around all day with the expression of someone being tortured on his face. Finally, he reached into the front of his britches and with a rip pulled out what looked like women's skivvies. Obviously relieved, he explained his wife had bought them for him as a birthday present and he'd finally agreed to try wearing them. He said "Never again". She was a real cute and sweet little gal, but I seriously doubt even she would have been able to talk me into such self-torture.

Of course, anyone who was 'discovered' in an alley peeing all over and screaming like a girl would forfeit the opportunity for redemption he had invoked.

No, he just failed to mention that men do pretty much the same thing, so really the word he should have used instead of "women" is "people".

We have had words before, Pete. This is not intended to be more of that.
I’m sorry that the choices you have made in your life has caused you to be so tragically jaded.  Your post speaks more about you than you know.  I pray that you come to realize the only person you are hurting.
