Now if I cant get away from cloning,  I think I'd have to have my wife cloned.  Fantastic gal and more than one might be ok.

Hmmmm, so it'll mess up your watch huh?
I've never been zapped really bad, but I do like to "play" with a little juice. Ever since I was little, I loved 9v batteries, and I used to touch the electric fences just for fun.   At work we had a HiPot tester and I would take a jolt or two once in a while, just for fun.
The thing is I've always had trouble wearing a watch. The metal ones were really bad. One day it would be fast, the next slow, then it might be ok for a day or two.  
Are street lights the same way?

I got zapped about 8 years ago. Not real bad, but I felt it for a day or two. Trimming a tree that had been previously cleared for the power lines, and the sprouts had grown back thick and were about 6' long. I was cutting many of the sprouts out of my way to get up the lead and one caught on my leg and laid across the primary. I finished the job but when I got to the ground I was unable to stand.

Since then I've never gotten a watch to work correctly more than a month or two. Been through a few Timex's and a couple Christmas present watches. I have one now that I only wear for special occassions. Had it since Christmas and it still works, worn it 3-4 times.

How did this thread get so far off topic and nobody has mentioned FOOD yet?

The end of my tree topping career was back in the 70's.  I was cutting a limb waay up in that there tree.  Hope I don't bore ya cause I mentioned this one time before.  I cut that limb, the rope broke, and it fell right across some high voltage lines.  .  A big fire ball starts running up and down them lines until one of em finally burns in two.  It hits the ground and fire is still running up and down it.  About that time the transformer doesn't click off, it blows up!   I shinned down that tree, and didn't say a word, just started for my truck.  Guy I'm working for says hey, get back up there, the lines out of the way now.  The thing is I KNEW I was working too close to them power lines with the equiptment we had and had done told the guy.  I messed around and let him talk me into cuttin that limb anyways.  Partly cause I needed the money.  I'd been working up in trees off and on for two years.  That day, that minute I quit.  Very few trees it is that I've climbed since.

I was eating a ham and cheese sandwich the day I got nailed with 480 volts.
I ran a grounding rod across all 3 legs of a plate breaker when I was cleaning an RF transformer.The breaker was "off" but the main power supply wasnt.It blew me back about 10 feet,knocked me out and blinded me for about 30 minutes.The response from the "guy who should have known better"?
"Gee.Darn good thing you wasnt standing in water!"
Hey Rockey-J.I put in some food for you!

[Bruce_A]

ck;  I am newlywed enough that I took my lady dancing this weekend not once but twice.  And this after working all day.  Hit the hay last night at about 1:30 am and was up at 5:30 headed to my favorite auction.  After 8:00 pm here now and the 10 hours sleep I have had the last three days is starting to catch up with me. By the way, I am 55 years old and been married to my lady for almost 26 years.  Cloning still doesn't sound to bad.

  :DI hear ya Bruce, I hear ya!!!!  Just havin a little fun. Me, I only been married 22 years and going strong, but I still don't think two would be a good idea, for me at least!!!!  Lord have mercy, I just KNOW they'd gang up on me and I'd NEVER get no peace!!!!!!!!

I guess it would keep a man busy job hunting for a second job for more than one woman, but think of the fun.

   Some of this bio corn may produce a strain that we can not digest nor our live stock and insects have no use for it and can not kill it.  This Kudzu Corn will overtake us and be our doom.  This could be the end of grits.  

  Grits is food and already in here.
