On the ranch if you need a set of plug wires you just cut them a off the fence. Don't recommend touching them when its running...  |

Why not? Life is much more interesting that way. I'll have to relate a good story about a "city boy", a weed burner, and a peeing contest sometime.

OK. I've got some time. While in high school, a good friend of mine and I worked on his uncle's dairy farm a couple of summers. A month or so into the first summer, his uncle told us that his wife's nephew from Chicago would be coming for a month-long stay. We were told that we were responsible for showing him "the ropes" and he was supposed to help us.
Now, in high school, my buddy and I both were a little rough around the edges. So this kid shows up and he's a real little jerk. Tried to talk down to the two of us. He was just about a year and a half younger than us. It took about two days before the two of us had our fill of the little twit.
So, we're all three walking to the back of the pasture to get all the cows in for milking. The older cows knew to head in, but we had some young cows that were being stubborn. Anyway, all of a sudden my buddy pops up and says, "Two bucks". I had no idea where he was headed with this, but I jumped right in and said, "C'mon. Let's make it five bucks."
So, city boy says, "What are you guys talking about?" My buddy pops up and says, "We usually try to see who can pee the furthest over that wire". (No, our language wasn't that clean) The "wire" was the 240-volt "weed burner" hot wire that kept the cows in the pasture. It's called a weed burner because it literally burns the tops off the weeds below it.
So, this city boy jumped in with both feet. He dug in his pocket and found three dollars. He begged and pleaded with us to do it for the three bucks. He wanted in this contest BADLY. So we agreed. We all three got lined up by the burner and I counted down, one, two, and on three this kid shot a stream over that wire and the two of us fell out laughing.
It only took a few seconds for that stream to run back across that burner and, WHAM! He got knocked on his butt. When he finally managed to compose himself, he ran all the way back to the house and cried to his aunt. Meanwhile, we were still rolling around laughing our butts off. And yes, we got ripped good for doing it. My buddy's uncle must have chewed on us for a full ten minutes.
It was worth every minute. LOL!
Thank God, I'm a country boy!
EDIT: The city boy didn't learn either. Next time I'll tell you about waking up the old "sleeping" sow.
