There was an electrician wiring 2 pumps with low pressure shutoff switches. he started bouncing up and down and couldn't let loose of a screwdriver until a co worker killed the power. He came back the next day and did the same thing but let loose of it by himself. We all called him the kentucky fried electrician after that. Then he became a local inspector for building codes.
AC does that to you - you can't let go.
I've done it holding the uninsulated tips of meter leads looking for shorts/opens in a robot logic control board, when someone energized a circuit I was on. AC straight across the chest from one hand to the other . I could feel the hz cycling . Co-worker said I turned every color of the rainbow. I had to sit for a few minutes not even sure if my heart was still working at first.
110 DC throws you across the room and away from it.
The name also had to do with his and his partners name on a van. his was Ken something and some smartass said Ken almost got fried.
