Oh for crying out loud... have a little fun in life! Hook up the primary side of the coil to the battery + (Side of coil, top terminal) through a switch. Connect the bottom terminal (on bottom of coil box) to ground (body) Connect the secondary side spark terminal (lower side terminal) to any metal item that touches earth, such as a piece of chain, tin can, wire, etc laying on the ground. When someone touches the car, hit the switch. It'll light them up good but won't hurt them a bit. Of course it may also get their dander up enough so they may be wanting to throw a rock though your window or something! It will drain your battery if you leave it on. Some of you guys are so risk averse you wear suspenders and a belt at the same time, just in case!

My uncle was a military policeman in Germany after WW II. He rigged his jeep this way to move through threatening crowds without making a big deal of it.

When I was young,
And had no sense,
I peed on,
An electric fence.
It shocked my d**k
And shocked my b*lls
And made me s**t
My coveralls.

Yes, Russ,
MORNINGS are TOUGH when you're OLD. That's why I TRY to do a bit of "humor" to hopefully help someone get going.
With an ANTI-PAIN PILL & some JETT-FUEL COFFEE, I'm OK, in about an HOUR!

Practical jokes are only funny to the joker. I have a pacemaker and if I touched something that was rigged to shock me I don't know what the result would be. I do know that a magnet will turn it off. I also know that after I picked myself off the ground there would be some jail time for me.
