Floridelectrocuted!

The Braham family from Palm Bay, Florida was full of clever little ideas. For example, they made up the nickname “The Bram Fam” for themselves. They’re dead now though.
FLORIDA — Melville Braham, 55, Anna Braham, 49, and their son Anthony Braham, 15, were accidentally electrocuted to death last night after an antenna they were erecting in their backyard connected with power lines overhead.
THE FLORIDA WAY OF THINKING:
The bright idea: Erect a giant HAM radio antenna in the backyard. Enlist the assistance of your wife, teenage son, and his friend.
The purpose: Possibility of contacting extraterrestrial lifeforms. Also, eavesdropping on sexually-explicit truck driver conversations.
Risks Involved: Nothin’, really. There’s no thunder clouds overhead, just a set of power lines. We’re wearin’ shoes today though, so we’ll be safe.
Safety precautions taken: Bottle of Jack Daniels for courage.
Outcome: During the attempt to raise the antenna from the ground, the Brahams lost control of the antenna and it struck an overhead power line. 13,000 volts of electricity coursed through their bodies until they were dead — but they smelled delicious.
Where’s a hidden camera when you need one?
