I bet this never happened to you


   I built a go cart out of 2 by 4 lumber. ( i was a
poor kid) so I did what I could. What prompted this
build was not for entertainment but necessity. I had
my right leg in a full length cast. (that's another story).
So I needed some transportation.

  I was straddling the motor (running) as I was working
on it. My (groin) area got "too close" to the spark plug.
It "lit me up". That's when I first learned how to dance
on one leg.

  Have you ever done that?

    I wonder if that's how Ian Anderson developed his flute-playing style.

    Should auld acquaintance be forgot--hey, who the hell are you guys?

        I don't know? Maybe the "bee Gees" had some similar
    event happen to them.

    Very true.  LOL 

    I hope there weren't any lasting effect--other than your popular one-legged dancing.  Is on You Tube? 

    Being a technician, I've had a few close calls--but no "greetings-from-Planned Parenthood" events.   


    ...yet.

    my crotch was on fire once but.... na... i'm not going there. i don't know about the crotch but one time, in sturgis, my girlfriend at the time, was kneeling down beside the bike and put her hini up against the pipe... she was wearing little tiny shorts...  i remember thinking someone was bbqing...lol  after it healed which took a real long time... the scar on her butt, which was really close to my favorite recreational spot, no word of a lie, looked exactly like the cartoon version of the man in the moon.  i don't know if she ever got a tat to cover it... like i said... old girlfriend...lol

    Yup... It's how I lost my virginity.

    Long story short ... I have never ever in my life seen a lady sprint out the door so fast ... she could have won the gold in the Olympics -- and trust me...I've seen some ladies run away from me pretty dang fast ... but not like in this instance

    Does it help for hitting those high notes while singing? If it does, I'll try it, what the heck! I'll even start a band and call it "The Go-Karts" if it improves my singing.

       To answer your question I'd call it more like screaming,
    but yes one can sing very high pitched and also very
    loud. The Go-Karts would be a cool name.

    I cant help but wonder if that maybe this experience had a little something to do with you getting into the electrical trade. 

    Hmmmm.

    sounds too close to "the Go-Go's" to me!
