She Grabbed Hot Speaker Wires…and Could Not Fathom What Would Happen Next

Dear Doctor Fullerton:  Can you be electrocuted by holding speaker wires in your hands?  My sister would not hold the wires so I can’t find out. — Shocked

Dear Shocked:  You cannot be electrocuted, but you can get a good shock.  Speaker wires have a decent current, especially from older stereo components.  When I was a boy, I regularly powered myself up using speaker wire current.  I held the wires in each hand and let the power flow though my body and strengthen me.  I tried to share this power with my sister, but she screamed and cried that I tried to electrocute her.  It was not possible, but she claimed that she could not even let go of the wires.  Now my sister is a sick withered creature.  Here hands barely function.  Her look reminds me of a petrified mouse husk.  Conversely I am as strong as a peruvian ox hound.
