I personally seem to carry some type of electrical charge on my body. I CONSTANTLY shock myself and others. When I get out of the car, when I touch a grocery cart or door. Doorknobs, light switches, anything really that wil hold a charge.
Welcome to the Straight Dope Message Board, Momma, glad to have you with us.
When you start a thread commenting on a column by Cecil, it’s helpful if you provide a link to the column. In this case, I presume, it’s Can some people extinguish streetlamps by means of their bodily emanations?
It helps keep everyone on the same page, and it reduces the need for people to search for the column.
