Oh man, you should totally take a law suit out.
You can sue you boss for billions and then you can come over and visit us all.

Good point
115v isn't going to kill anyone quickly is it?

You could put some toast on and hang about.

Pretty much
TBH even 240 only stings a bit, kinda tingly, and I'm sure it did no lasting damage.

isn't it the amps that kill, though?

I think guns kill
And Zyklon B. And speed. And drugs.

Fuck - most things kill.

They kill each other
