Rodney is a GROUNDed knight who cannot CHARGE.

Are you sure you lost an electron? “I’m positive!!”

Stop giving Rodney so much static.

Someone needs to go see a wand repairman!

Harry Potter never had to resort to that stunt.

Harry Potter would be aghast.

Technically, correct. Not impressive. But correct.

That must be artificial grass.

Nothing will ever get Rodney to charge!

With all that mail on, the charge should not even affect Sir. Rodney.

Marion Ross,the static cling Queen,could help ;)

I used to do that to my poor brother, Raymond. When you turned off the television, you could hear the static electricity crackling. If you rubbed the screen with the back of your hand, you could gather a pretty good charge, assuming you were wearing tennis shoes. Then bring your finger near Raymond’s lower ear lobe. You could often get two good sparks, sometime three. (I used to be bad.)

Good old static electricity.

The Wiz forgot to replace the batteries!

The difference between a zap and a ZOT illustrated.

Doesn’t work barefoot. I have personal experience.

Those were the days. My brother and I shuffling around on the living room shag carpet desperately trying to be the first to build up enough static electricity to give the other one a small spark!
