Have you ever put your tongue on the terminals of a nine volt battery to see if it was still good?

    No, I can't say that I have.
    What happens if you do?

    You get a burning shock. Quite minor. I guess you are going to try it now, eh?

    Yup.. is there a reason why car battery terminals are so far apart?

    They are far apart because the battery must be large enough to produce hundreds of amps.

    Enough amps to fry someone's tongue if the posts were close enough together.

    My father tricked me into  doing it then I  tricked my 2 sons into doing it and one day they will trick their kids into doing it - it's a tradition now. Cheers!

    Yes I have. 9V is the upper edge of what is comfortable, but you can do it down to around 3V (as long as your tongue can touch both poles at the same time)

    Nope.  I drive to a nice dispensary, White Mountain, that sells me brownies that would blow anyone's mind in a nice way.  The label says Amy & Al's and Amy makes the brownies herself and sells them in this store.  WOW.  And I have had edibles before many times.  These are the best I've had so far and the least expensive for the amount.  These are 400 milligram for 19 bucks.  That is insanely inexpensive.  Algreens sells 40 milligrams for 10 bucks.    So these are second to none.  I'm trying to buy them on Tuesdays because you get 20 percent off.  LOL

    I know this is not going to last forever, and I need many for the freezer before they get wise and raise the price or Jeff Sessions wins and we go back to illegal trade again.  But this time if we buy drugs and Sessions wins, we get the death penalty.  LOL

    Because of a bite of one of these $20 treasures, I can massage at least 4 bodies before I have to have another bite.

    These brownies are making me rich.

    Let's do the math...I get 4 massages for 1 brownie?

    No one bite of a 20 dollar brownie makes me feel good for 4 massages before I want another bite.

    4 hours of massage will net me about $120.00.   I would not think of charging you because you are generous and not a TAKER.  I know you would never take advantage of anyone, therefore, I would not hesitate to offer you freebies.

    Sure, but very quickly assures a minimal shock.

    No, but I have put my tongue on the terminals of a nine volt battery to see what it would taste like.

    It tastes metallic.

    A tongue piercing? Probably a good burn. Thanks for giving me an idea for a question in adultmug.
