I have managed to do this a few times in the past. Sometimes intentionally and sometimes accidentally.
My first experience was with one of those electric fences you get to keep animals in. I was told by my friends that if I grabbed it really quickly then I would not feel anything. They lied to me and I ended up getting knocked on the floor, lol!
Next I moved onto mains electricity and twice ran over the mains cable whilst cutting the grass, d'oh!
The third time was again with mains electricity and the washing machine. It was not working, so I stuck my hand in, without turning it off at the mains, and I must have touched something live. It was not a pleasant feeling as my tongue stuck to the top of my mouth and my body started buzzing. Felt quite strange for a few hours.
Oh well, you live and learn don't you?
