THE HOT ELECTRICIAN

AN ELECTRICIAN WAS WORKING ON A PROJECT AND HE HAD AN
ACCIDENT WITH FIVE THOUSAND VOLTS RUNNING THROUGH HIS
BODY. HIS FELLOW CO-WORKERS RUSHED HIM TO A DOCTOR.
THE DOCTOR EXAMINED HIM AND SAID, "YOU ARE A VERY LUCKY
MAN, GO HOME AND REST TONIGHT, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG
WITH YOU." THE NEXT MORNING HE WAS BACK AND THE DOCTOR
SAID, "I TOLD YOU THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU, WHAT
ARE YOU HERE FOR?" "WELL DOC, I THINK THERE IS SOMETHING
WRONG WITH ME, BECAUSE LAST NIGHT WHEN I LAID MY WIFE,
HER TEATS LIT UP LIKE LIGHT BULBS."

Submitter comment: INFORMANT HEARD THIS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF DETROIT. HE
