normally there's like a 30 minute grace period between shocks, but it's been much more frequent than that. just awful.

I get shocked almost every time I touch my car door when I close it. Only in the winter, of course. Not likely that the manufacturer will issue a recall for this.

Love milk. My wife buys the 0% fat stuff, which is OK and, I guess, healthy. That said, I sneak some whole milk whenever I can. Very tasty.

It's fun when you take your gym shorts off in the dark and all the static lights up real bright.

Just make sure you don't enter your car when you are filling it up with gas, then. That could be dangerous.

Thought provoking. I am now surfing the Net in search of firesuits like the NASCAR pit crew guys wear. If I can find a cheap one, I'll purchase and throw it in the backseat for gas station visits. If I can't find a cheap one, I'll find a buddy to go with me to the station and let him fill 'er up while I watch from a safe distance. I have a lot of friends, so this should work for a long while.
