Linemen are nuts, period! My grandfather was a lineman for NU for 20 years through the 50's and 60's before working his way up the ranks. Some of his home electrical repairs were downright frightening. I guess when you regularly deal with high voltage and extra-high voltage powerlines, 120V seems like child's play.
