Is Black Looks going to touch electric fences in South Africa?:
“Very scary these electric fences. The house next door has one and I am so tempted to touch it just to see what would happen and if it really works. I am not sure which is more scary, the fence itself or me having this pushing desire to touch it. I am still here so no I havent done it yet. Coming from Nigeria the gates, bars, fences and wild dogs are no big deal. The only thing is we do not have electric fences since the electrity supply in Nigeria is so erratic that it would be a waste of time.”
