| In one of my classes in high school, nearly everyone there had said to the teacher that they had been shocked before. I can't recall ever having been shocked myself. |

I've never been shocked, but I do own the most powerful stun pen in the world.

Power point.
That one hurts.

Well, yes, the generic 'wanna see if this is an electric fence' situation.

Several times. Mainly with electric fences. And not just "Ooh, I wonder if it's electric", but also intentionally. (Everyone hold hands and then touch the fence!)
Ah, the stupidity of youth.  |

| I was sent a shock lighter a couple of years ago and what started out as prank pulling turned into a series of dares. WARNING TMI!!! So my friend shocked his tongue, then I shocked the tip of my pecker (I had so much adrenalin in my bloodstream at this point), then my friend shocked his scrotum. All I can say is that with all of the adrenalin, it didn't hurt that much. Would I do it again? Depends on whether I have a circle of guys around me daring me to do it. |

| I think I recall being shocked ONE time got lucky. But I've shocked myself a few times with my stun gun for logical reasons. |

When I was about 6 or 7 yo, I tried to remove a stuck plug from a socket... with a pair of metal scissors... It made a dent on the scissors! (but I don't remember being hurt or feeling anything).
Also, a few years ago, while I was working, I was moving a rolling metallic container (for grease) and I felt like it had a motor running. It took me a few seconds to realize that it had no motor and it was a current that was going through me. Then I saw a nude wire on the wet floor. When I told my boss what happened, he told me to be careful in the future. (What an a-hole!) |

As a pre-teen I shocked myself on an electric fence where I was taking horse riding lessons. |
