If you connect the neg cable last, and disconnect it first, it shouldn't spark, should it? I know electrons flow from neg to pos but the current flows from the pos and I've never seen the neg cable spark, say when reattaching it to the battery with the pos cable already attached.

I could rationalize it if it was the pos cable, because I've seen it spark many times, but never the neg.
