    There’s an electric fence where I volunteer to keep animals out, and apparently it’s quite painful if you accidentally touch it, but not lethal. I constantly have to fight my curiosity to know just how painful it is, so I don’t blame them.

      When I was growing up, a neighbor had an electric fence for their dogs, and a bunch of us bored kids would take turns daring each other to touch it. It hurt like hell.

      From my one experience on my cousin’s farm, it felt like he had given me a solid kick to the ass. I legitimately thought he kicked me in the seat, and asked him why he did it. He said he didn’t, it was the electric fence.

      Once was enough.
