Eye Sparkle 
2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance
This is my second submission. Possibly this shows I have friends of higher stupidity than the average person.
This story relates to an ex commando (attached to 42 commando I believe) and a good friend of mine. Whilst in taining as a signaller he was taught to build a radio. Being a fairly simple task, he was given a kit after all, he performed this task somewhat quickly. Unfortunately this left him with time on his hands.
As the boredom mounted he decided to connect the crocodile clips from the power supply to his strides at the knees and turn on the power. No effect.
Next stop was connecting them to his shirt at chest height. No effect.
Next he connected one to his left ear. As he attempted to connect the other to his right ear (without this time disconnecting the supply) a large spark shot from the croc clip and into his right eye. He elicited a girly scream and shot backwards off his chair, landing along with the contents of his desk on the floor. As you would imagine this interrupted the lesson.
He explained it as an accident. This was perhaps not believed as after his yelp he was found with a croc clip connected to one ear and the power supply on the deck next to him.
Not really a worthy story - but worth a read at least! Submitted on 08/01/2002
