I posted my experience, it goes like this:
When I was a toddler I stuck a fork into an electrical socket and burned the crap out of my hand (parents referred to it as "The Claw" because they didn't think it would ever be normal again, but it recovered fine), my father would bring me broken electrical devices like a turntable, TV, or motor and tell me to fix it. I would plug the device in and try to get it to work, all while there was open electrical power in which I of course always shocked myself. One time I was sitting cross legged to the side of our 25" color console (that is a piece of furniture to you youngsters and the largest TV screen on the market) that of course have vacuum tubes. Well the electrical contacts between the tubes and the tube sockets would fail and someone needed to tap on the tubes to restore the picture, that was my job. So I stick my hand into the back of the TV (I'm not looking because I've done this 100 times before, I was about 14 years of age and we had that TV since I was 2 years of age and I knew that TV and schematics inside and out). Tap Tap - Zzzzz and I go from crossed legs to standing up virtually instantly and my older sister starts laughing her butt off. Yes, I hit the HV tube too close to the top where the 25,000 volts comes out. Anyone who has done this knows what I'm talking about. I have a lot of stories like that and they are all true.
