Anyone else ever hear this?

Any idea where that claim originated?

Guessing your mom laid a lot of pipe in her day, or at least was knowledgeable cause she’s right. Although I’ve never heard of anyone getting fried by lightning in the shower? There’s a reason that story is out. I think today, with the use of a lot of pvc, it has faded.
