Ohm sorry to be the voice of resistance here, but I don't think this joke has much potential in its current state.

Am pear
Gauss I walked into that one, but at least it's a coulomb!
("Cool one." I think I'm well past the point of reaching here.)
I think you’ve discharged all you can
I know someone with the surname "Ohm." I asked him if he would marry me, but he objected that he was already married and I was (at the time) in a committed relationship.
Don't know why you got downvoted. That's a neat and relevant anecdote.
All good. I appreciate the honest feedback from whomever expressed their opinion. Hopefully I caused them no harm.
Thank you also for the positive response!
You’re ready for a minute on Kill Tony.
I have a bag of batteries that need to go to the tox drop, thanks for the reminder.
I labeled them "BAD-tteries," though. My daughter did not think this was very funny.
If it elicits a groan, it's peak dad humor.
My box is labelled “AA Meeting”
Fantastic work. Really charges me up.
What's in the box?
Uh, guess?
I was really hoping someone would say "Dead batteries" and I could do the whole, "I don't know what I expected" bit.
Sorry, ruined the setup. 😬
You didn't. It was a calculated risk, and I am very bad at math.
No, that's the problem! That and the volts.
I was told you’re not supposed to dump your batteries into a bucket like that
At least glass should not melt from the battery fluid, shouldn't it?
They should probably tape off the contacts to reduce the risk of forming a circuit, yeah.
Just cover the terminals of any 9V battery so they don’t short.
Believe it or not, this was posted within the last couple of months.
Straight to jail.
Not even wrong?
I've seen this in no less than 5 different businesses in the last 15 - 20 years or so, which isn't a lot, but still more than I would have imagined considering I live in the middle of nowhere.
