Truth is funnier than fiction

god damn it. this is so not funny. you had the wires in your mouth???

stop this. i am not kidding, buddy. i am NOT kidding. what would you do / say if jackson did this?

You are so lucky my friend. Count your blessings and never, never again try and put wires back together without disconnecting the power source. A small current that crosses your heart can stop your heart instantly. That would not have been a good x-mas present for you family.

Also make sure your tree does not dry out with those taped up wires on it. Check the wrapping of tape after they've been plugged in around 15 minutes and then keep checking it. If the tape starts feeling warm then you need to remove the lights from the tree. A house fire would not be a good gift to the family as well.

Are you one of those kids that stuck your tongue in a light socket to see what would happen?

Oh man. you are so lucky.

I think you would have gotten along really well with Keith as a youngster. He was the one doing things like taking the really strong flash cameras - the real bulb kind? - into the perfectly dark closets and waiting until his eyes were totally adjusted to the darkness before he set it off just to see what it would do... he said his head slammed into the back wall of the closet so hard he nearly knocked himself out that time...

there were other things, but I can't remember them just now...

One word: awesome.

shhhh mom. (^;
