Bad Idea...worse motivation.

2009 Reader Submission

This incident occurred during my early/mid high school years about a mile or so down the road from my Alma mater. Apparently a couple of young, very drunk frat boys from MTSU climbed a ten foot barbed wire fence that was intended to keep individuals out of an electric sub station. One of the individuals climbed on top of a transformer. That was a pretty bad idea. The worst part was his electrocution via his genitalia when he urinated on the transformer on which he stood. And if that wasn't bad enough, his motivation was to pee on a wasp nest that was attached to the transformer. Needless to say,the wasps were the least of his worries. He did not live long.

Without a specific reference the best we can do is make this a PA, and I'm glad to do that. We've gotten other stories involving drunks doing stupid things, as well as idiots doing stupid things around high voltage. But this one takes the cake as far as I'm concerned, especially since it also includes aggrivating a nest full of wasps. Thanks, Roy!
