But, Weary, just think of how legendary you would have become.  From now into 
eternity, outdoorspeople would have sat around campfires, telling about your 
fiery demise.  Mothers would have used your story to convince their grown sons 
and daughters that there is too much dangerous electricity out in the woods.  
Your electrifying experience would be written up in countless outdoorsman 
books.

What price fame?
