* B.I.L. = Brother-In-Law
In front of the driveway to the Stave Lake Powerhouse, there is a disconnected power maintenance box on display. It's cut open so people can see the stuff inside.
"Take my picture licking at this power cable," he says.
"Sure, I'd love a picture of my brother-in-law electrocuting himself," I don't say. Instead, I reply, "Huh, what?"
"It's just like Earl and Allan licking at batteries," he says, and I now understand. Brother-in-law see, brother-in-law do. Please click on this link to see Earl and Allan licking at batteries.
I had to take this picture very quickly, as we were stopping traffic.
DISCLAIMER: Don't lick at batteries and especially don't lick at exposed power cables! Even if you happen to be my brother-in-law.
