Two Wires

Edney and Cole, two Ohio Edison electrical repairmen, were working on a blown house circuit.

- Hey, Cole! - said Edney.

- See those two wires?

- Sure, - Cole answered.

- Now just grab one of them.

Cole grabbed one of the wires.

- Feel anything? - asked his partner.

- Not a thing, - answered Cole.

- Good! - said Edney.

- Don't touch the other one or you'll drop dead!
