I've been zapped good by high DC voltage and RF several times in my life,
but fortunately I can still smile about it.  What I find funny is how my
first reaction is to look around and think "Did anyone see me do this
stupidity?" 

A more rational thought might be "Hurray!  I'm still alive!"... but I'm not
always rational.
