In our shop there was an old spark plug cleaner and tester. You sandblasted
the business end of the spark plugs and then tested them in a crude pressure
chamber while watching how well the spark performed under high pressure
conditions. Naturally there was a high voltage lead that was hooked to the
mains via a transformer. We had a "regular", anyone who works in the service
industry will know what I mean, who liked to joke around with us and unlike
most regulars, he was a nice guy. Well one day he was watching the tester in
action and when we broke for coffee, he started "fooling" with it. The last
thing he tried was holding the high voltage lead to his _____ and then he
pushed the button..........
