Same to you, Frank the Tank.

Well, where to begin....it would have been September of '91 or '92. I was at University in Windsor, Ontario. We were having our light Friday workout before our game (football) Saturday. So we are on the practise field behind the St. Denis Centre ( http://www.uwindsor.ca/units/pac/New...1?OpenDocument ) and its overcast and warm, but not raining, no thunderclouds or anything. We are near the goalposts running through our plays. I played offensive guard, so I have my hand down on the ground in a three-point stance and we are about to snap the ball and KA-BAM!! We were all hit by a bolt of lightning. I felt it go up through my fingertips and through my whole body and out my feet. We all collapsed to the ground, then when we realized what happened, we ran like crazy *******s into the St. Denis Centre. I was stone-deaf for about an hour, had really sore teeth and had 1st degree burns on my fingertips and the soles of my feet. Pretty lucky really.
