At least you have recovered well enough to sit and type proper English.
Hopefully you'll recover from this and be able to laugh about it later...
... You guys realize this is just a repost of a joking story from elsewhere on the interwebs, right?
The OP wasn't really electrocuted. He didn't really peepoopuke himself. He can't really change his TV channel by farting.
It's humor. A joke. Fiction.

bettysnephewTrue life story, in our late teens a couple of buddies and I snitched a few bottles of beer from one of our dad's supply and were cruising around in Al's 53 Chevy pickup truck. Nature took its' course and we decided a pit stop was in order so the three of us bailed out at a field turn in gate to relieve ourselves. All was going well until my selected spot was at a corner post for the gate. It being dark and I being tipsy did not notice there was an electric fence wire on the post and let loose with a whiz. Thank the powers of the universe it was only one of the pulsed type of supplies and not a Weed Chopper continuous fencer. I was brought to my knees so fast that I peed all over myself. My junk hurt for about a week after that stupidity. I have however had two children some years later but I was always wondering before the wife got pregnant if I might be sterile. Look before you whiz in rural areas.

reflex/deflex 64I got the big weed whip tangled in a hot fence once. This was one of the 4 string 2 handled harnessed to you trimmers.
I didn’t die. It was quite lively for a hot half minute though.

Oh come on. For crying out loud there are certain things you read and you know it is satire. Look at any Babylon Bee “story” and if you don’t recognize it as satire you are beyond gullible. Yes, it should have been highlighted that it was satire, but harshing all over someone who has already fixed it because the OP wasn’t perfect is a little over the top.

BigCityAm I bad because I laughed? A lot.
Glad you're okay now.

The key to enforcement is to punish the violator, not an inanimate object. The punishment of inanimate objects for the commission of a crime or carelessness is an affront to stupidity.

rburgA true story was about my buddy Hutch. He lived a few towns over and had a Jeep. A soft top CJ5. They were having trouble keeping radios in those days. Maybe 40 years back. The AMFM were the cats meow and even used ones (stolen) brought big bucks, like $25. So Hutch had lost a few and was kind of upset. I couldn't figure out why, soft top jeeps rattle so much sometimes you couldn't figure out the song that was playing.
So Hutch went up to his family farm and brought back a fence charger. The one that used a 6v lantern battery. He drove a stake in the ground back by the rear bumper and put a ground wire on the jeep, then installed the charger. Turned it on with a stick and went to bed.
About 2 in the morning they woke up to some screaming. One of his friendly neighbors got tired of the noise and called the locals. So he pulled on some pants and went outside to enjoy the fun. You've got to visualize a lifted CJ5 with a roasting shithead leaning in the open passenger door. Every time the charger would recycle, it would treat the thief to a new trill.
Well, Hutch was just standing there enjoying the show when the cop pulled up. And the cop told him its just not right to torture thieves, even if they were trying to steal your radio. Then the cop asked him nicely to shut down the power. So Hutch went to his porch and got his stick. He just reached in an shut the power off. And low and behold, the bad guy just kind of laid there. Then the cop asked him, again nicely, to get the criminal out of the jeep. No problem, by then the power was off so he grabbed him by the belt and jerked him out of the jeep, then, let go. The now exhausted crook fell in a pile on the sidewalk.
Hutch said hearing the guy whimpering was the best part! It was better when Hutch told the story, he kind of had a way. And before the cop lead the guy off to the cookie jar, he was told that if he ever saw the guy again, he'd get an hour on the zapper. The cop told Hutch to lay off, he was sure the guy would never come that way again. Did you guys know that when you lean in a lifted jeep, your private parts rest against the body/door frame!
