As a kid, about 5, for some reason still unknown to me today, I got it 
in my head that I should unplug the clock that was on top of a dresser, 
so I crawled underneath the furniture, grabbed the plug, slid my fingers 
behind it to get more leverage, and >Thump< a nice 110V hit. From that 
day forward, I've had a very healthy respect for electricity. But, no. I 
wouldn't recommend anyone make contact with live wires. It's just asking 
for a trip to the morgue.
