Silly 1931. It appears as if its instructing you to run as quickly as possible if this happens by chance. It is also a great illustration depicting how the cultural emerging technology had arrived more swiftly than general human wit.

Thanks James. I guess they hadn't seen Mythbusters in 1931. : - )

I don't know about electric wires but I know it works with electric fences.
