The farmer across the road from my grandmother's house had an electric fence for his cows. Me and my friends would take turns seeing who could hold the shortest piece of grass on the fence. "Cow Fence Chicken" we called it. (chicken being the game of chicken, not the animal chicken)

I got the full force of the fence once, not while playing the game, but because I thought it was off . One thing I can tell you is always test with the back of your hand, because the shock will make your fist close involuntarily and now you are really gripping the damn thing.
