I was once mowing the lawn with an electric mower using an extension cable. The mower kept cutting out so i unplugged it from the extension cable, checked the plug it was fine. Next step check the extension . '' Turn off the extension '' i shouted to my wife. '' OK, i have done '' she shouted back. So i took the cover off, and spotted a loose wire, a red one. So i put my finger in to put it back into place. A 240 volt shock shot up my arm and i jumped in the air throwing the extension away as i did. Mr Fosberry eat your heart out. I slowly walked back in the house rubbing my arm. My wife had turned the plug off. The one next to the extension plug. I pointed out the error to my wife, '' Oh'' she said .'' Never mind''                  Now there's a woman's logic for you

Another astonishing tale 
Thanks so much for brightening my day, well worth waiting for.
You really are a legend!

Fantastic micktip! And I still haven't got your autograph!!

Mick,

I sympathise completely, been there, done that, with wet wallpaper, a plug socket and a screwdriver.

How long before you got the feeling back in your arms, and how long till the ringing in your ears stopped?

Perhaps the clue was in fact the dead mouse, nature always has a way of predicting disasters!

Have you considered suing her for personal damages - irrespective of the fact she saved you, she caused it !!!

You seriously should write a book.
