A fallen telephone line running from pole to pole, can it be cut w/o getting electrocuted?
If anyone knows it has to be someone on here, right?

I only have a vague recollection of high school physics. But, I believe I remember that you have to have a "difference of potential" to get shocked... So, if you don't touch two lines at once and you're grounded, I think you'll be fine!! Go give it a try and report back!
AND there is no path from you to the ground (earth ground not electrical term) so one line and you're not grounded. Not to mention cutting the wire will most certainly cause the wires inside to all short together over the snips.
99% sure you're fine, but if its from the pole that utility property. Just call them its their problem.
I'm surprised land lines are still a thing
Throw some oven mitts on, a pair of rubber rain boots, and cut the ****er with a pair of hedge trimmers
