Something Hot In My Pocket

Nope, it’s not because I’m pleased to see you…..

The hot sensation in my groin was not the first stirrings of a rooter, not was it the aftermath of an STD (thankfully).

I had an actual chemical reaction in my pants today, thanks to two AA batteries and a pocketful of change.

I was up at the parents house in Ballycastle today for my niece’s christening. Afterward, there was a bite to eat back at the house, and I was standing in the kitchen next to the kettle where my sister was making tea.

Suddenly felt warm down my leg and I felt it to see if the sister hadn’t spilled hot water on me. Nope. Bone dry. Paid it no attention.

A few seconds later, I could feel the heat getting worse and put my hand in my pocket to see what it was. F**k! The batteries and the coins were scalding hot. I can only assume that they had made some kind of circuit in my pocket and the current was causing them to heat up. I gingerly picked all the metal out of my pocket and left it on the counter to cool. Might try and recreate the effect another time.

Right now, I’m wondering if being exposed to this current will trigger a genetic mutation in my groin? Will I gain special powers? I always wondered what Spider-Man shot whenever he…errr..shot….
