Another time on said farm, a drill or some power tool wasn't working, so I went to the extension cord. Said extension cord was bound together by some gun-tape up around the middle. I took both sides of the cord beside the gun tape and shoved them together. Something blew up and my thumb was burned. At least I didn't die.

actually, i've just had a flashback thanks to that. i remember now (when i was working at the same farm i mentioned earlier, jesus i was accident prone) i was powerwashing the walls of the milking parlour when i noticed the back of the plug had come off, having been sellotaped together with electrical tape. thinking on my 'toes', i pulled the back off, and attempted to place the back more securely on. then i accidentally put the palm of my hand on the circuits inside and did a sort of "OHOOO" (like an opera singer), and was dazed for a few minutes afterwards.

Okay, when I was about 9 years old I used to have an old harley davidson golf cart I drove up and down out street in circles for hours on end for fun (we lived on a cul-de-sac). One day down at the far and of the street I saw a metal staff sticking out of the ground.... this staff was a marker for snow plows to know where the road bounds were; a fairly heavy post. A plow must have hit it the preceeding winter because it was bent. Without thinking I drove past it in the golf cart and grabbed it in a brainless attempt to bend it back straight.
Well, not only was I pulled out the side of the golf cart but my shoulder hurt for a couple of days after that (the post remained bent btw) and ever since that time I've been able to dislocate my left arm from the shoulder at will and wrap it completely around the back of my neck.

i was laughing until you mentioned you could willingly dislocate your arm.
