> Dear Andrew:

> Some time ago I was suffering from static electricity which gave me an
> electric shock when I touched my car when putting the key in the lock
> to open it. I made myself a groundstrap from a copper metal scrub
> pad, to which I joined a piece of electric flex which I opened up at the
> top and bottom to expose the copper wires. I joined one end to the
> scrub pad and a metal bulldog clip to the other end and made it long
> enough to reach from my wrist to the ground. I cut the middle out of
> the scrub pad and placed it around my wrist. It stopped the static.
> did it not only because of the small shocks but to get rid of the
> electricity
> from my body causing it.
