He'd been watching the sci-fi movies at the local theater, and the hero had a ray gun the dried up lakes. He was next to the cattle chute, which was about six feet high, and the boards were close enough together that you couldn't see who or what was on the other side, so when he saw the "lake" starting to form under the bottom of the chute, he thought of the movie and hit it with his cattle prod. The next thing he heard was a sharp yell and something about "lightning from out of a clear blue sky."He got away with it in the story I read, BTW.</blockquote>
