I wish I could have banked this one for next week, but I was not expecting it. My brother mentioned many times during our hunt that we should get a beer afterwards at a local bar. The place is called Bonnie and Clyde's with an "old time" gangster theme. He mentioned you can get your picture taken in an electric chair. I figured I have never done this before... so why not? A harmless photo-op, right?
After we had a couple pitchers of beer, two bar employees strapped me into a chair with huge belt loops around my neck, stomach, wrists, thighs, and ankles. Then they locked the jail-style door. I am going nowhere. I can barely move. I asked my brother to take a silly picture of me, which he did. O.K. let's go now... yet he still hovers with the camera. A second later they electrocute me! I got a full-body shock that I was not expecting. I screamed the entire time! It lasted about 20 to 30 seconds. My other brother said that on a volume scale of 1 to 10, I was at least a 15. The pain starts in your arms then shoots up your body and into your head. It was horrible! Then a little while later, they zapped me again, bunch of jerks! I quickly pull a "Houdini" and manage to get my straps off. While this is going on, I remember I have shot gun shells in my pants which are also soaking wet from sitting in the swamp all afternoon. Not very safe.
My other brother (who was unaware of this scam) yelled "Get him out of there, he has a heart condition! (which I don't). This tells you the difference between my two brothers, one electrocutes me and other quickly makes up a story to get me out. It was a shocking experience to say the least!
The two bottom pictures: One is of me posing for my picture in the electric chair and the other is my unexpected electrocution. See if you can tell which is which.
