Static Shorts

This is from a while back, but I just remembered it today.

User: "This may seem a bit random, but are you good at physics and chemistry?"
Me: "Yes I know a couple of things"
User: "Do you know how to stop static electricity? My shorts keep riding up my legs and its driving me crazy."
Me: "You could try touching a bare unpainted metal surface, but other than that I don't know"
User: "That didn't work.  If this doesn't stop soon I might just have to rip my shorts off.  Oh well, thanks"
Me: "eh Okay"
