I think I need new glasses. I hurriedly read your post as "grabbing a 13-amp plug", and
wondered what that was doing in the garden. But I reckon the shock from grabbing that
would be far less than what you'd experienced! Slugs really are disgusting creatures.

It's all a matter of perception really, and I share the revulsion of others.
But I do wonder what our reaction would be if slugs could sing!

Sheer terror. It's bad enough that they're slithering round creating
silent havoc. Noisy havoc would be beyond reason.

Ah!
Just think of the songs they would sing

Slime in love with you baby
Slip sliding away
just for starters, I'm sure there are plenty more
