Hug a Tree, Not A Light Pole

According to a Public Service Commission report you may get a shocking surprise if you touch a light pole in New York City. The report states that stray voltage could be found on 6000 of the 176,000 light poles throughout the city. That means that 29 percent of the light poles located in New York City pose a potential risk or could cause a fatality. Representatives from Con Ed say that the high number proves that inspectors are diligently testing the poles for stray voltage.

In recent years, there have been many instances where people were shocked and pets killed by electrified gratings and manhole covers. We hope that Con Ed increases its efforts and continues to locate the stray voltage and fixes the problems before anyone is seriously injured. Until then, we highly recommend you refrain from licking any light poles.

I saw Bob Holden licking some lamp posts. He's practicing to do a good job licking Avella's boots.
