There 
was a request made for a very specific greeting card the other day.  The request 
was to congratulate someone for finishing electrician training and becoming a 
full blown electrician.  Well I had a cousin who was an electrician and when we 
were about 30 he was killed when a generator arced out and fried his ass.  So 
naturally the first thing that came to my mind regarding an electrician was 
being electrocuted. 
As 
I write this another sad and tragic memory of electricity pops into my head.  I 
traveled with the carnival when I was about 19 - 20.  I met a lot of interesting 
characters, and those days normally spawn long conversations at parties.  But 
specifically I met a guy with no arms.  He had them both blown off by 
electricity.  His family operated midway games and he was setting up that game 
where you try to ring the bell at the top of tall pole/board by using a huge 
hammer to whack a lever.   Well when he stood the pole/board upright it hit some 
live power lines...you image the rest for yourself.  Buy The Card Here
Oh, and you get a free Pope joke. How's that for value?
