Always fun stuff to work with, DI water or oil are great insulators, though one sucks to clean up if you spill it 😓

Just lather yourself up with that oil bb don't let it go to waste

Low voltage: "Oh no, there is a tiny spot of corrosion on the contact surface, I think I need to lie down..."

High voltage: (rips line of coke) "I'M GONNA MAKE MY OWN WIRES WITH BLACKJACK AND HOOKERS!"
