The first person to respond will then announce a "Topic" for discussion*. It can be as unclear, ambiguous and vague as you'd like it. Being of interest to the masses is a plus!


Remember the "Topic" you choose can be in any form. One or several words or phrase form. Please highlight your choice of topic in some manner.

* No politics or other ugly topics please.


Thanks to all for your contributions, large or small!

Let's try "Shocking experiences" ... What shocking experiences have you had? Electrical or otherwise?

I grew up messing with electrical stuff and I do know quite a bit about electricity. I remember being really young and standing, I think, on a dock. I'm sure I was barefooted around the water and touching a soda machine got a really good jolt. Just a faint memory. I've had a few shocking experiences since then.

My most shocking moment came when my girlfriend told me the words that makes a man shake in his boots. "Guess what the doctor told me today?" And her dad, the deputy sheriff, wasn't too happy to hear it either!
