You had to stand behind that line if you wanted to speak to him. Around the edge of his desk was an exposed wire connected to a battery with a switch at his knee. If you leaned on the desk, he would trigger the switch and shock you. I suppose that was one kind of lesson about electricity and circuits we had to learn. Reference ID: BX92578 Responses:
