Shocking!

Chad and I replaced some fluorescent bulbs (the 4' long ones) in our kitchen - three sets of two bulbs, to be precise. We left the lights turned on. I twisted the bulb to get it properly aligned. I pressed my index finger to the end of the bulb.

Did you know that there's electricity running to power those things?

Me: "Oh My God! I got shocked!"

Chad: "Are you okay?"

Me: "NO! I got shocked!"

Chad finished replacing the light bulbs, and we went to the basement to veg in front of the TV.

Me (pressing my hands to my chest): "I think my heart stopped."

Chad: "Your heart didn't stop."

Me (pressing further): "But my lungs hurt and my heart hurts and my legs feel like Jell-O AND my arm is paralyzed. See?"

I lift the dead arm, and it falls to the couch.

Chad: "If your arm is dead, then how come you were moving it before?"

Me: "Spontaneous paralysis."

I slump down into the couch.

Me: "Want to play Guitar Hero?"
