[Milsurplus] off topic: Frog humour

[Richard Brunner]

True story:
Years ago when I was in oil (power) circuit breakers there was a problem 
with frogs down south.  They would climb to the top of the breaker and 
stretch across the insulators, sometimes causing a phase to ground arc, 
which cleaned off the top of the circuit breaker, and was not good for 
the frog.  In the office no-one believed the story about the frog, so 
someone in the field picked up a dead frog and mailed it to the office. 
  When the box was opened the frog hopped out.  Apparently there is 
something erotic about the electric field, but sometimes it's too much. 
  We put in extra long insulators so the frogs couldn't induce phase to 
ground faults, but presumably get their thrills.
