THE SEX LIFE OF AN ELECTRON (PRETENDED DIRTY TALE)

ONE NIGHT WHEN HIS CHARGE WAS PRETTY HIGH, MIRCO FARAD
DECIDED TO GET HIMSELF A CUTE COIL SO THAT HE COULD
DISCHARGE. HE PICKED UP MILLI AMP AND TOOK HER FOR A
RIDE IN HIS MEGA CYCLE. THEY RODE TO THE SINE WAVE
ACROSS THE WHEATSTONE BRIDGE, AND THROUGH A FIELD BY A
FLOWING CURRENT.
HE PLACED HER AT GROUND POTENTIAL, RAISED HER FREQUENCY, AND
LOWERED HER RESISTANCE. PULLING OUT HIS HIGH VOLTAGE
PROBE, HE INSERTED IT INTO HIS SOCKET, CONNECTING THEM
IN SERIES. HE BEGAN TO SHORT CIRCUIT HER SHUNT. FULLY
EXCITED, MILLI AMP STARTED TO SATURATE.
WITH HIS EXCITER OPERATING AT MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY, AND
HER COIL OPERATING FROM HIS CURRENT FLOW, SHE SOON GOT
HER SHUNT HOT AND RELEASED SOME ELECTRONS. THEY FLUXED
ALL NIGHT TRYING VARIOUS CONNECTIONS AND SOCKETS UNTIL
HIS BAR MAGNET LOST ALL ITS FLUID STRENGTH AND DIS-
INTEGRATED INTO A SOFT IRON CORE. AFTERWARDS, MILLI AMP
TRIED SELF-INDUCTION AND DAMAGED HER SOLENOID.
WITH HIS BATTERY FULLY DISCHARGED, MICRO FARAD WAS UNABLE
TO EXCITE HER TRANSFORMER SO THEY ENDED THE NIGHT BY
REVERSING POLARITY AND BLOWING EACH OTHER'S FUSES.
