So that's how you do it, Febs. Now! Now, the truth comes out.

Will Februs get a shock?

If they were charged with static electricity, did they plead guilty?

I can assist with dispersion of the static charge if needed. If not I can act as safety observer.

And naturally, there can be no clothing between the cane and the girl's bottom, lest we risk further static buildup.

Those pesky panties have much less static cling when they have been safely grounded.

I used to teach Electronics Lab when I was a grad student and Februs is certainly correct about the static charge issue. He has come up with an innovative way to eliminate the static charge. Wish I had thought of it back then.
