Hiya People...
We've seen something like this before, but I don't recall this
particular version coming my way yet...

THE SEX LIFE OF THE ELECTRON
by D.C. Current
One night when his charge was pretty high, Micro-Farad decided to seek a
cute little coil to let him discharge.
He picked up Millie-Amp and took her for a ride on his Megacycle. They
rode across the Wheatstone Bridge, around the sine waves and stopped in
the magnetic field by a flowing current.
Micro-Farad, attracted by Millie-Amp's characteristic curves, soon had
her fully charged and excited her resistance to a minimum. He laid her
on the ground potential, raised her frequency and lowered her
reluctance.
He pulled out his high voltage probe and inserted it in her socket
connecting them in parallel, and began short circuiting her resistance
shunt. Fully excited, Millie-Amp mumbled, "OHM - OHM - OHM - OHM".
With his tube operating at a maximum and her field vibrating with his
current flow, this caused her shunt to overheat and Micro-Farad was
rapidly discharged and drained of every electron.
They fluxed all night, trying various connections and sockets, until his
magnet had a soft core and lost all of its field strength.
Afterwards, Millie-Amp tried self induction and damaged her solenoids.
With his battery fully discharged, Micro-Farad was unable to excite his
field, so they spent the rest of the night reversing polarity and
blowing each other's fuses.
