A fun coincidence: someone posted about a similar memory just this morning[1]!

> Removing insulation from a live phone wire with my teeth (I had decided to put an extension in my room without asking for help...) was one of mine, that definitely made me more careful. Went just fine until I closed the circuit with my tongue by accident just as someone called. Not pleasant.

That's crazy. I did that too, once. I thought I was the only one stupid enough to accidently strip a live telephone wire with his teeth.
