Do you avoid bathing during thunderstorms?

Apparently this is something you shouldn't do. I did not know that. :shrug:

:P

is next to an open window, what's the reasoning for this? I can think of a thousand other things more dangerous than bathing, fer chrissake...

You really live on the edge. Do you know if they're taking applications for people to star in the next "Jackass" movie? Maybe Johnny Knoxville and you can play around the step-down box during a flood.

Well...you're momma's so fat...

Ah, fuck it.

Don't take a shower or a bath. Water and copper tubing are excellent conductors of electricity.

tubing. All plastic. Same rules still apply? :shrug:

On a side note, a friend of mine reports she used to blowdry her hair while soaking in a bathtub to save time. Never thought anything of it. How she is still here I do not know.

and much like cold water in a pan full of hot grease, there is no pattern or predicting the direction the electricity might travel in water.

If the reservoir is struck by random lightening, the stuff in the pipes is the problem, regardless of the composition of the pipes themselves.

Keep yourself safe. Stay out of the tub/shower/laundry room during electrical storms.

taking a shower, she was holding on to a tube

i strip naked, strap an aluminum pole to my back and run around in the rain.

"I am a burnt bread and certainly, nobody wants to buy me. I felt lonely and upset. I thought to myself that my life as a bread was very meaningless. I was so disillusion that my eyes turned white."

If lightning strikes the house it will go through the plumbing, and into the toilet bowl water and right up your urine stream and you'll EXPLODE right there.

This happened to a relative of a good friend of a friend of mine. So I know it's true.

Thanks Allen, best laugh I've had all day! :D :toast:

you'll be grounded...

uh-huh,

Never was sure or not if this was an old "husbands" tale. No one in my experience has ever been harmed.

should have its metal pipes grounded.

but you wouldn't know unless you looked for it.

grandmother always told me that

In a thunderstorm never:
Take a bath
Do the dishes
Talk on the phone

I laugh in the face of danger. Hahahahahaha!

Bwa-ha-ha. Twisting my mustache.

The telephone, during thunderstorms, will send the RAYS of discomfort right into your ear, so that you must hang up immediately if it is a call you didn't want. If you choose to bathe, then the lights might go out, but you will still have hot water if your water heater is gas. And there you are in the dark bathing in warm water and then the evil RAYS will come up through the drain and you won't have to shave your legs for a while. What could be worse, I ask you.

Grandmother was right about the dishes. Never do them, no matter the weather.

Hang it, I'm in the midwest. If we stopped all activity during thunderstorms, this part of the country would have a nice long nap. It should take about two months.

me. :7

after an unfortunate incident.
;-)

...all the while screaming "LIFE!!!! I will give you LIFE!!!!" while the lightning crackles down all around and the air is filled with the stench of singed hair and burnt flesh....

Then I climb down and saute some onions to go with the liver, cut away the really crispy parts, and have dinner....

I just spewed Scotch & soda on my keyboard and my nose burns.

Sorry about that!

:D

Pesky skin bacteria!

A robot, with stink-lines...?

It just doesn't get any better than that...B-) :toast: :D

I love stuff that makes no sense!

What would be the problem with that? :shrug:

I was a lifeguard during the summers in high school and for one year during college. I worked with some really fun people, but we were all pretty stupid about safety issues. Anyway, there was a horrible thunderstorm one day that quickly blew in, so we closed the pool, and sent everyone home. There was lightning everywhere, and rain was pelting the hell out of us as we were preparing the place to close when one of my friends said he'd give me $20 to stand on the high dive with the shepherd's crook raised upward for 15 seconds. A young lady with whom I was infatuated was in on the conversation, so I decided I would "impress" her by taking the bet. I didn't realize how stupid I was until I got up there, but being a macho 18-year-old had to carry it through. Longest 15 seconds of my life.

And you may all be surprised that the young lady I referred to was markedly unimpressed with my performance.

Keeps all those pesky humans away!
