MacBook electric charge

[Spud Murphy]

I just noticed tonight that the front corners of my MacBook Pro send out an electric charge. At first I thought it was just my wrists tingling as I typed but it happened again and again. It doesn't seem to happen when I put my nose or eyebrows against it, only my wrists and elbows. This is weird.

that is the auto defibrillator function. It is designed ot give you a shock to keep you alive after using the machine as a love object.

My workshop is in an old converted Dairy barn and some days I get the shocks from my MacBook Pro. After reading this I now know why because the electric wiring never was grounded, upgraded to modern standards, thanks for solving the mystery.
