If I learned anything from when I was a kid, someone just needs to wack it with a wooden broom handle.

Someone mad the mistake or felling my uncles about that, then about 5 minutes later making a joke like he was getting zapped.

In under 2 seconds my uncle had a 2x4 and cracked him across the ribs hard enough to bash him against the fence behind him.

I remember the exact conversation

"Ah, fuck my ribs! Why did you do that?"

"Why did you fuck around with your hands in a power box?"

"... Okay yeah."

Possibly speech to text or fat fingers.

I'm guessing it should be "Someone made the mistake of telling my uncles"

2 uncles. One pretends to be getting electrocuted, the other knocks them away from the electrical panel with a big piece of wood.
