	"Sex Life of an Electron"
		-- by Eddy Current

One night when his charge was pretty high, Micro Farad decided to try and get
a cute little coil to let him discharge.  He picked up Millie Amp and took her
for a ride in his megacycle.  They rode across the Wheatstone Bridge, around
by the sine wave and stopped in a magnetic field by flowing current.

Micro, attracted by Millie's characteristic curves, soon had his resistance
at a minimum and his field fully excited.  He laid her on the ground potential,
raised her frequency, lowered her capacitance and pulled out his high voltage
probe.  He inserted it into her socket, connecting them in parallel and began
to short circuit her shunt.

Fully excited, Millie said, "Mho, mho, give me mho!"

With his tube operating at a maximum peak and her coil vibrating from the
current flow, she soon reached her maximum peak.  The excess current flow 
had gotten her hot and Micro was rapidly discharged and drained of every
electron.

They fluxed all night, trying various connections and sockets until his bar
magnet had lost all of its field strength.  Afterwards, Millie tried self-
induction and damaged her solenoid.  With his battery fully discharged, Micro
was unable to excite his generator, so they ended up by reversing polarity
and blowing each other's fuses.
