An acquaintance of mine a couple decades ago relieved himself against an
electric fence (he'd failed to note the insulators) while out hunting. As
he put it, for several days after he and his wife thought their child-bearing

They weren't, though.

At least not until after he underwent his *third* vasectomy.
