You guys know what a hot wire is? Basically, it's a wire that goes around horse paddocks to keep them off the fence. If touched, it delivers about 50-gajigavolts of electricity, enough to teach a 1200 pound horse a painful lesson. Naturally, there's hot wire involved in my doofus tale.
This afternoon I was mowing the back yard on the riding mower. I had to pass through an open gate to get to get to another section. The hot wire's strung about 5 feet up over the gate (65Topless, you know the wire I'm talking about). I wasn't paying attention, and caught the wire right across the neck! Did I mention this wire can drop a 1200 pound horse, and I weigh, oh, around 190? Anyway, I FLEW off the seat of the tractor and rolled around on the ground for a while screaming my head off! Luckily SWMBO wasn't home and none of the neighbors were out, otherwise I'd never live this one down!
Anyway, I'm all bett ... bet ... better nowwww, sso donn''t worry abbbou ... aboutt me!
