Haha that's a good one
Capacitors are usually in the realm of pico to micro farads
A one farad capacitor charged to a respectable voltage would feel like a doomsday device in your hand
You see low voltage ones for things like memory backup on hi-fi gear. I have some 3F/5v capacitors in an old Technics tiner.
