My dad is a lift truck mechanic. All lift trucks have a chain hanging off the back to keep them from building a static charge... they generally use these flat, treadless rubber wheels and run on smooth concrete all day long, so they have the potential to build up a nasty charge. When Dad and the other greasemonkeys want to aggravate one of the driver's they'll hang the chain so that it doesn't touch the ground. Dad said he's seen an arc jump almost a foot to hit a guy as he dismounted. Pops like a sunuvabitch!
Fun stuff!
