In the interests of good taste I will refrain from adopting a well known Sean Connery pun for this sad story. Thank heavens it wasn't a small child. BBC News - Dog electrocuted walking along Galashiels street

That's shocking.

It's tragic. Apparently the current that killed him was Battersea Dog's Ohm.

In the interests of taste I carefully resisted that one.

And here's a picture of the poor thing

The dog is alive in that photo.

I was expecting something more current.

Since he's scapegoat of the month, I blame Vince Cable.

His owner is going to continue strolling the circuit they used to make, since it's watt he would have wanted.

Wire we still making cheap puns?

Charlotte · « **Reply #11 on:** 31 December, 2010, 07:54:18 pm »

Because we all just love to charge on in there with the poor-taste responses? There is an almost unlimited capacitance here for that sort of thing.

Because there's not enough resistance.

It's hardly a joule of a thread, is it ?

border-rider · « **Reply #14 on:** 31 December, 2010, 08:04:07 pm »

The owner must have been Ferrantic

Wowbagger · « **Reply #15 on:** 31 December, 2010, 08:49:34 pm »

Did he inform a copper?

tonycollinet · « **Reply #16 on:** 31 December, 2010, 08:56:47 pm »

No, but there was a bus conducter regulating ev ents

rogerzilla · « **Reply #17 on:** 01 January, 2011, 09:52:15 am »

I think we have the potential for more bad puns.

If this gets any worse I'm may have to disconnect myself from this thread.

border-rider · « **Reply #19 on:** 01 January, 2011, 10:30:41 am »

Don't blow a fuse over it, dear chap.

Rig of Jarkness · « **Reply #20 on:** 01 January, 2011, 10:34:54 am »

I'll try some insulation to see if that will help

border-rider · « **Reply #21 on:** 01 January, 2011, 10:36:58 am »

I think most of these comments are made on the spur of the moment, but some people do charge in.

I'd like to visit the scene and pay my respects but how far - A day?

Oh dear oh dear oh dear

Trip up there?

There's a main ring of persistent punners. Isolation is the only answer.
