When Adam and I kiss we literally see sparks fly. That is unless we ground ourselves first. If not, the static electricity in our house produces an electrical shock between the lips. This is the lesson we learned last week from a painful experience that neither of us wishes to repeat. Before leaning in for a smooch Adam takes the precautionary measure of touching my shoulder and then, only then, do we dare kiss.
Staying Grounded – A Precautionary Tale

LOL, our household has the very same rule!
Our problem is not static electricity, but a 6 pound dog that doesn’t want Bill near me. If Bill sits near me or tries to kiss me Peanut jumps on my lap and growls at Bill. Dumb dog doesn’t know that Bill can squash him in on small step.
I don’t remember being in the Navy ever. And when I kiss you like that our kids get grossed out.
It’s fun to gross them out & hear the moans & whines, “Ewww! Stop that!”, inflicting the same torture our parents did on us.
And I agree, a shocking kiss is never a good thing.
Barb, I have the solution to your dog problem – http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/world/2008/02/27/vo.aus.python.swallows.pet.dog.ap?iref=videosearch
Poor dog. I’d have a snake skinned purse after that. I’ll make sure I show Peanut the video and see if it does any good.
Bill is no snake.
