Introduction to the Farm in the Eighties

I know we will sound a little bit horrid, but there didn't seem to be anything that was more fun growing up than inviting the city kids to touch the electric fence.  We were fairly immune to it and were smart enough to make it look like we had our piece of grass right on the fence.....ohhhhh the laughter, the rolling on the ground, gut clenching, spill right out of ya laughter.  And then we would look for our next victims....uhm firends.  Now if you weren't our friend, we got you to actually grab the electric fence, tight, at the barn baby!  That was quite a shocking experience.  
I just have to wonder what y'all did for fun before electric fences? Bull riding???
