knowing that 20,000+ volts just zapped across the line in front of you is quite the adrenaline picker upper.

Even more so after you get chosen to be the ground. My arm didn't stop twitching for hours. Your heart pounds like hell the next time you go to discharge a monitor. I still can picture it, the little blue bolt of pain jumping its way up the screw driver, then in to my hand. Seamed like it took forever to hit my hand yet I never moved just sat there and watched it come.
I was lucky it was only a 13in. tube otherwise I might not have been able to laugh about it later.

Just be careful with monitors they can hold their charge for a long time.
