[livius drusus]

My mom got me an electric shaver for my legs when I was 14 or so. For some reason which to this day escapes me, I had it in head that my legs should be wet before shaving so even though I knew full well that electricity + water = bad, I plugged it in, got into the tub, extended my leg and was about an inch away from contact when my mom walked in the door and unplugged the thing. She had heard the noise and raced up in the proverbial nick of time.

I waxed my legs from then on.
