Years ago I was working on my FireChicken (FireBird for those not in the know) with some of my Friends. When I went to undo the Battery Cable my ring touched the Wrench and I welded my hand to the fender of the car (I don't wear rings now). I jump back trying to feel better (I was just electrocuted), when I looked at my hand I had paint from the car welded to my skin (it took months to wash off). Of course everyone laughed at me.
That's not all.
Not 15 minutes later and another car. We used to have this race car with the two batteries in the truck, well one of the batteries were already taken out. My Dad asked me to remove the other one while he was at work. I made sure the battery switch was off, and I proceeded to take the battery out of the car. I went to move the other cable for the battery, not realizing they were connected and a Bolt of Lighting came out the back of the car. Once again I got electrocuted. My Sister came running out of the house only to find me laying in the yard behind the car, trying to talk. All she said before she started laughing was "I say a bolt of lighting, so I knew you had to be involved".
I'm not sure if it was the dumbest thing I've done, because I sure learned my lesson.
