Shock The Monkey

My office is static charged beyond the scope of human comprehension.  Larry Flynt must be housing some sort of unlicensed super conductor in the building.  Everything I touch in here delivers a tiny pinprick of static electricity.  On their own the shocks aren’t bad but after 8 hours I leave the office feeling like my fingers have been ravaged by an overzealous hematologist.  I’ve taken to walking around the office like a blind man, constantly touching the walls, always grasping for the nearest piece of furniture, anything that will keep me grounded for a few seconds.  Some day as an experiment I’m going to walk around the office without touch anything all day.  Then, just before I leave for the night, I’m going to touch on of my coworkers.

My hypothesis:  The resulting shock will cook their organs inside their body.

It would be worth it to, just for a moment, exercise the powers of an X-Villain.

Or those of Ernest Goes to Jail.

There's not a single electric X-villain that I can think of.

There's Electro, of course, but he's a Spidey villain.

There is that super-hot electric chick from season four(?) of Angel. She is, for all intents and purposes, an X-Men character.

This points are valid, but I feel debating them is preventing you both from appreciating my awesome Ernest P. Worrell reference.
