Assumed that I could walk alone in a dark area at night and not get hurt.

Zoinks.

This is also my biggest mistake. At least the divorce went through smoothly.

Incidentally, I never really felt an overall sense of "time flying by" until after the marriage ended.
Time moved very, very s-l-o-w-l-y up until that point.

Marry wrong, marry long, I would say. Tongue

It would have to be between sticking my fingers in a light socket or jerking off with Vicks.

I ran out of Vaseline. It looked and felt similar. I won't be doing that anymore.

It can be confused with vaseline if you ignore the smell I suppose...

Maybe I should mention that time when I built a high voltage generator from spare parts and then accidentally touched it.

So what you do is hook up a relay as an off switch to itself. That gives you a very rapid sequence of pulses because the relay acts as an oscillator giving you a square wave. Those you feed into the low voltage end of a transformer, and the transients will generate very high voltage peaks in the other (really the primary) coil because every time the relay suddenly switches off the magnet coil in the transformer, the field collapses very quickly and the induced voltage goes like the rate of change of the magnetic field. Hook that up to a high voltage rectifier you ripped from a TV set and feed that into the highest rated capacitor you can find.

Got all that? Ok, then listen carefully: don't do any of that under any circumstance!

Ha, that reminds me of the time - I think I was 16 - when I built a Jacob's Ladder in school and accidentally touched it. IIRC, the output of the transformer feeding the ladder was 17000 volts.

Do not do this, ever.
