First time you get zapped, you use language in ways you've never thought possible

Think the dad from Xmas story was impressive, and lil Ralphie getting Scott Farkus back??? Nothing, I promise you...
Saw a story where some surgeon in S. Africa was snorkeling or scuba diving and tried to grab a 8+ incher and reportedly lost a finger....You guys remember the Gary Larson cartoon Far Side cartoon w/ the caption " How Nature says DO NOT TOUCH!!" couple different images of a Porcupine puffer all swollen up, A scorpion with the tail raised, a cat all puffed up, and some freak show standing on a corner wearing a trench coat, an inflatible animal around his waist, a boot on his head, backwards, holding a Bazooka, and looking paranoid??? Add a flared up mantis to that cartoon....
