    One night when his charge was pretty high, Micro-Farad decided
 to seek a cute little coil to let him discharge.
 
    He picked up Millie-Amp and took her for a ride on his Megacycle.
 They rode across the Wheatstone Bridge, around the sine waves and 
 stopped in the magnetic field by a flowing current.
 
    Micro-Farad, attracted by Millie-Amps characteristic curves, soon
 had her fully charged and excited her resistance to a minimum. He laid
 her on the ground potential, raised her frequency and lowered her
 reluctance.
 
    He pulled out his high voltage probe and inserted it in her socket
 connecting them in parallel, and began short circuiting her resistance
 shunt. Fully excited, Millie-Amp mumbled, "OHM - OHM - OHM - OHM".
 
    With his tube operating at a maximum and her field vibrating with
 his current flow, caused her shunt to overheat and Micro-Farad was
 rapidly discharged and drained of every electron.
 
    They fluxed all night, trying various connections and sockets,
 until his magnet had a soft core and lost all of it's field strength.
 
    Afterwards, Millie-Amp tried self induction and damaged her
 selenoids. With his battery fully discharged, Micro-Farad was unable
 to excite his field, so they spent the rest of the night reversing
 polarity and blowing each other's fuses.
