A story is still told about Bill Engelhardt when he was dock master, where he would start up a 4 cylinder outboard motor and purposely put his fore arm across the 4 spark plugs while it was running.  It must have been very painful as he was shocked repeatedly by the spark plug wires.  He did it to prove how tough he was!
