STOP!

Do *NOT* play this game until you have debugged this problem.

It sounds very much like a problem with an isolation transformer,
or lack thereof.

You are probably passing 120VAC through your finger, up your arm,
then straight down *through your chest cavity* and into the floor.

This is a serious electrocution hazard.

Doug.
