Best keep away from newspaper stands else they all be sticking to you :lol:

Reminds me of the big bubbleswap we used to use at my old job. You had to keep 2 foot distance from it at all times else a spark would jump at you!! Needed danger money to use the stuff it was that bad! There was often a moment of silence before anyone touched the stuff :lol: normally followed by phrases like "ah'ya fu**cker" and "ah,ya bas**ard" and sometimes "stop fu**ing laughing!" :lol: You could often hear the cries of pain from the other end of the building as well :lol:

It makes me exclaim expletives. :lol:

I can actually hear the spark lol

I read that it's a few thousand volts, but too brief to harm you. I this true that it can be 3000v?
