                     The Sex Life of an Electron


     One night when his charge was at full  capacity, Micro  Farad 
decided  to get a cute little coil to discharge him.  He picked up
Millie  Amp  and  took her  for a ride on his megacycle.  They rode 
across the Wheatstone Bridge, around the  sine  wave,  and into   the 
magnetic  field  next  to  the  flowing current.

     Micro Farad attracted by Millie's characteristic curve, soon had
her field fully excited.   He  laid her  on the ground potential, 
raised her frequency, lowered her resistance, and  pulled  out  his
high voltage  probe.    He  inserted  it in parallel and began to
short circuit her shunt.    Fully  excited Millie cried out, "OHM,
OHM, GIVE ME MHO."

     With his tube at maximum  output  and  her  coil vibrating  from 
the  current  flow, her shunt soon reached maximum heat.  The 
excessive  current  had shorted her shunt, and Micro's capacity was
rapidly discharged,  and  every  electron  was drained off.  They
fluxed all night,  tried  various  connections and hookings until his 
bar magnet had lost all it's strength,  and  he  could no longer
generate enough voltage to sustain his collapsing field.  With  his 
battery  fully  discharged,  Micro  was  unable  to excite his
tickler,  so  they  ended  up  reversing polarity and blowing each 
others fuses.
