THE SCHOOL OF EXPERIENCE
Mar 29, 2020 02:15:25 #
I am attempting to quote Will Rogers in his definition of Learning in the School of Experience.
According to Will there are several classes to this school:
1. Some learn by classes and reading books and watching You Tube
2. Some learn by asking experts questions, listening and taking notes.
3. Then finally, there are those who have to piss on the electric fence!

ZAP..zap teach one mutt to know for sure if allowed to mark territory or not.
Reminds me of my Grandpa. My dad told me about his father. James A Hanson in St James Minnesota had a Model A ignition coil.
Grandpa got tired of catching smelling and seeing a stray dog piss on his Desoto ( I think..not sure exact car) wheel and tire.
He wired the coil live ( closed circuit ) to the secondary side ( high voltage )to the frame of car.
One nice summer evening they heard a big yelp and whine from the driveway saw the Mutt run off and never returned.
JUST SHOCKING...

I always did #2. My first wife use to get upset about it because she thought I was thinking they were stupid. It was because I wanted to know why they didn't do it another way. The neat part was 50% of the time was watching their eyes widen as they never thought of that idea. I was trying to learn from their experience and they were leaning from me. LOL
They never said I was stupid, if it was wrong, they would say why. IMO If you don't ask or watch you don't learn.

Dad told the story about when electric fencers first came out he and a neighbor decided they would make their own, and wired a fence directly to 110 volts. They went up to the haymow to watch. Killed 3 hogs before they could scramble down and unplug it! Didn't realize it had to be intermittent. Lots of butchering to do that day!

Forgive me if I told this one before, but in perhaps 1975 or so, my folks leased a farm and part of a marsh for duck / goose hunting South of Horicon Marsh. We had a perfect North wind which would persuade the geese to leave the marsh in our direction. We set up our hunting party in a line along the fence on the North side of decoys so they would fly over the top, swing and land into the wind to present the best shooting. My Dad , then me, followed by my Mom, then Uncle Bob and one of my Cousins all spaced about 30yds from one another. As we waited in the dark, the silence was broken by a blood curdling “Owwwooooo....s#it....Son of of a...WOW!. I then heard my Dad laugh a bit and then he offered “I believe your Uncle just learned the lesson about peeing on an electric fence”
