Haha, yeah, exposure to high voltage and the smoke that powers it can change you.
Wait 'till his Life & Casuality Insurance agent sees this.
Reminds me of:
When I was building a jacobs ladder, and got bit by 200kv.
A friend was changing out his starter, didn't remove his wedding ring.
Reached up in there and his ring jammed between the B+ post and the frame.
Welded it. The noise (his screaming) was unbelieveable.
I had just finished welding a custom clutch throwout bracket for a friend.
He says "That'll work!", and grabs it off the bench.
More ungodly noise...
