Shocking Discovery

IF you are holding a cordless phone and
IF you have a corded earpiece that goes from the phone to your ear and
IF you remove your bathrobe while the phone is in your hand and the earpiece is in your ear and
IF your bathrobe creates static as you remove it

THEN

ALL the static electricity will go through your hand, into the phone, out your earpiece and will SHOCK the CRAP out of your ear!

I don't suggest you try this at home but if you do, don't say I didn't warn you!

You know what was particularly "brilliant" was that since I was trying to get out the door, was mid taking-off-my-robe, and trying to check phone messages all at the same time, I wasn't really paying attention to "reality." So while I was getting shocked, instead of STOPPING and taking out the ear piece, I just kept going and thinking "OW! That hurts! OW! That hurts! OW! That hurts! OW! That hurts!"

I'm sorry this happened to you, but sincerely appreciate you passing the information along to us so we won't ever suffer the same fate.
Hugs and blessings,

I probably shouldn't be laughing BUT I am laughing pretty damn hard.
