Do you put your finger in your cars cooling fan too?

I reached over to adjust the capacitor not realizing that the set screw that
fixes the capacitor knob onto the capacitor shaft stuck up beyond the
surface of the knob shaft. My finger reached over and touched the end of the
screw as I keyed down.

My free hand was not grabbing a ground wire. I was sitting in an upholstered
chair which was on a rug which was on a wood floor.

And no, I do not put my finger in my car's cooling fan.
