Have you ever stuck a 9-volt on your tongue
And held it there to see how long you could take it?

Should I be worried that I tried to impress my wife the other day by doing so?

1. Not really
I touch the terminals to my tongue just long enough to determine that the battery holds charge. Then I plug it into the beeping smoke detector.

3. I think there are better uses for a tongue...
like tasting chocolate, for instance. Hey! What did you think I meant?! :wow:

13. You probably shouldn't worry, but your wife should.
If you are married to a lunatic, you need to be prepared for this kind of thing, I guess.

Just kidding.

When I was a kid, I would pick a strand of tall grass and touch a barbed wire fence (a farm fence, not a prison-level of barbed wire) with it. It was kind of cool to feel the jolt go through my hand and wrist. I doubt I would do it now, though.

15. My older sisters and brothers would lull me into a false sense
of security and make me do the tongue to 9 volt battery. x(

I always trusted them. :(
