Frostback you don't have anything to worry about until he licks it twice!!

Honestly my husband just reminded me he has done it before. I am soooo proud.

Our first or second year living in Missouri my daughter was working with her steer, trying to scratch him with the show stick (he was not halter broke, we were working with him), and when the steer sniffed the stick, it stuck to his nose for several seconds before falling. We laughed so hard, we almost wet our pants (it was below freezing). Then we turn around, and our daughter is giggling nervously... seems she wanted to see what would happen if she put her wet tongue against the pipe corral and she got stuck! She whined incessantly while my husband and I laughed even harder, and when we were able to gain our composure we had to get a cup of warm water to run over the pipe. She had a red spot on her tongue for days after that!!!

After watching 24 hours of A Christmas Story I think any kid would try to lick a pole in freezing weather and Ill admitt Ive done it once.

                                        Must be an inherited thing...................... My husband did it.......and......my daughter did it too.... : :

So I asked him 24 hours after the incident and he actually had to think about the answere. :'(
20ish head on the hill without the kids is sounding like fun.

Our boys all time FAV movie (hate to admit this) is 'Dumb & Dumber'  (the original).... but if any of you haven't seen it there's a scene about the tongue thing. 
Looks so painful, lucky for us it doesn't get cold enough for it to happen down here so they never tried it...  although the movie taught em its a pretty dumb (and painful) thing to do!  (lol)

I'll be honest here, I've tried this and have yet to  get shocked. Who knows.

 

[american honey]

how dose it shock you??

Electrons travel up the pee stream faster than pee stream leaves point of exit.  Perhaps showsteernc did not have a steady stream or was not adequately grounded.  Or, and I apologize for being unable to resist this suggestion, but perhaps there just wasn't enough there to shock.
