I once tried to recharge a flashlight battery by plugging 2 wires into a 115 volt wall outlet, then connecting each wire on to opposite ends of the battery (I was 8 at the time)

That didn't end well either! šŸ˜²

Memories are like mercury. Every time you sort of try to get near them, they slip out of your hand like a bar of soap.
