THE SEX LIFE OF AN ELECTRON One night when his charge was pretty high, Micro Farad decided to try and get a cute little coil to let him discharge. He picked up Millie Amp and took her for a ride in his megacycle. They rode across the Wheatstone Bridge, around by the sin wave and stopped in a magnet field by a flowing current. Micro Farad, attracted by Millie's characteristics, soon has his resistance at a minimum and his 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 into her socket, connecting them parallel, and began to short circuit her shunt. With his tube operating at a maximum peak and her coil vibrating from the current flow, she soon reached her maximum potential. The excess current flow had gotten her hot and Micro Farad was rapidly discharged and drained of every electron. They fluxed all night, trying various connections and sockets until his bar magnet had lost all its field strength. Afterward Millie Amp tried self-induction and damaged her solenoid. With his battery fully discharged, Micro Farad was unable to excite his generator, so they ended by reversing polarity and blowing each other's fuses.
