The power is on into the house. You plug this in to the receptacle & clutch the naked leads. What's gonna happen?

You mean you plug that in and touch the ends? You'll be electrocuted I would suspect.

I mean it's how AC works, cub. You touch the two powered leads at the same time, you're shocked. Not attempting to electrocute yourself are ya? Terrible way to go

No, when we moved out here 30 years ago next December the wife sent me out to the garage to install the dryer. For some reason I plugged that in to the wall to see if it fit, never thinking about the hot leads. I didn't grab 'em by sheer chance. I just got thinking about it this last week for some fucking reason.

Good call, at your age the shock would most likely be fatal.

I wasn't thinking about doing that again, Mitch.


Until now.
