Electrocuting oneself

[TheoneandonlytrueGod]

I just read a post by (I've forgotten who) that knocked me off my chair from laughing so hard. It's the funniest thing I've ever seen on this forum.

Paraphrasing: If you put a wire in your mouth and the other end in your ass, how fast would you have to travel around the earth to electrocute yourself?

The image is so bizarre I had trouble telling it to my wife who didn't understand it but was laughing at my nearly futile attempt to tell it to her. About every other word doubled me over in choking laughter.

If anyone doesn't get it  I'll be happy to oblige them.

I think you are talking about magnetism, no?  If so, one might also conjure to mind fast-spinning figure skaters with similar apparel, standing next to a very large magnet.

Yes and yes. But the image of someone running around the earth is much funnier.
