I pick a blade of grass, wet it with my tongue and then rest the blade on the hot wire. It gives you a trickle if the wire is hot. Be sure, of course, the blade of grass is not from a corner etc, re dogs. Yuk!! Jean
Jean, I hate to take away the thrill and challenge of not knowing whether you've picked a piece of grass that's never been pooped on by a bird, peed on by a dog, stepped on by a horse's dirty foot, growing out of a pile of horse poop, etc... : ) But you don't have to lick it! The water in the grass transmits electricity just as well as any moisture you put on the outside. I wouldn't blame you if you keep licking them though. No element of mystery and danger the other way! Carpe diem!! Brian : )
