 you got hit by a pig or something even bigger, a 120V mains hit would not be
 very painful because of the decreased amount of nerve endings.

Actually the first time I was hit I never had a problem. Ive never been hit 
by any thing liek a polepig or any high current high voltage device.And I 
never have the lockup people report from mains shocks.These are hand to hand 
shocks.I have minimized this now with better habbits.
