The instant before the guy got hit,  I swear one of the bystanders said what sounds like "You're grounded."

I saw a picture that a guy had of two dumbasses that tried to steal high voltage lines in a pit.

Hawksbill cutters were blown out of the hole in half.

Guy in whole was charcoal.

Guy standing just outside of hole was crispy. Watchmens cap burned up. Face all charcoal. Pieces of crispy arms and legs scattered round. Copper thieves pfftt. Sorry thief. No copper in cable. Just high voltage.

He was originally resistant to the idea of being inducted in to the Hall Effect of Fame but later reversed polarity.  His

attempt was short-circuited when it turned out that he was short on mental capacity, lacked magnetism, and was not

up on current events.
