use has four bedrooms. Gary and Sandy take one, Carol and I take one, the two girls take one and the four guys sleep in the bedroom at the end of the porch that houses two bunk beds. Everyone gets along and we usually end each day with games and TV or a movie. Gary brings along about 50 movies each year that he taped from the pay channel on his TV. Always something to do until you collapse at the end of the day. The only thing that creates a little problem or stirs up some worry is the shower. Seems that when you take a shower and go to turn on or off the water, YOU GET SHOCKED! Not sure why and my Aunt doesn't have the answer either, but when you enter the lower level of the house next to the garage to take your shower, you know that you are going to get zapped. Gary and Sandy have taken to showering together so that only one of them gets shocked. At least that's the reason they gave for showering together. You know that as soon as you touch that metal faucet handle you're in for a good time. We did find that if you take a wooden dowel rod and place it through the handle and turn the dowel rod, you didn't get the shock. But, after showering, most ever one forgets and reaches to turn off the water. Yap! When we reminisce about out trips to the Elk River, what do you think we always talk about first? Yep, the shower. For me, it's a great way to get recharged after a long hot day. Thinking of maybe having my shower at home wired to do the same thing. It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.

The "Shower With A Jolt" Story
It was an ordinary day. Everyone has finished taking their showers. We have been on vacation for 3 days now with the Howry family and are having a ball. Fishing, swimming, water-skiing and tubing and of course eating. Everyday is the same, but we never tire of the same thing, because WE ARE ON VACATION. This is the third year we have come to my Aunt's family house along the Elk River in Maryland. House has four bedrooms. Gary and Sandy take one, Carol and I take one, the two girls take one and the four guys sleep in the bedroom at the end of the porch that houses two bunk beds. Everyone gets along and we usually end each day with games and TV or a movie. Gary brings along about 50 movies each year that he taped from the pay channel on his TV. Always something to do until you collapse at the end of the day. The only thing that creates a little problem or stirs up some worry is the shower. Seems that when you take a shower and go to turn on or off the water, YOU GET SHOCKED!
