hehe, I once watched a female friend of mine replacing the 12v battery of her car.

Of course she was wearing a couple of rings on one finger that were in contact with the spanner too... result: she welded the two rings together whist they were on her finger
She was left with a rather nasty circular blister round her middle finger right near the knuckle.
Somewhat callously my house mate and I just stood there laughing... we called her 'sparky' for months afterwards.
you should have her hold a lightbulb!
