The Static Cling Fairy

First of all, Wikipedia defines static cling as caused by static electricity, usually due to rubbing as in a clothes dryer (the Triboelectric effect).

We had a double-header in softball last night. I had to come straight from work so I just grabbed my shorts and went on my way. While I was changing in the car I noticed that the static cling fairy had paid my shorts a visit. So I had to let people know that I was well aware of that fact so as to avoid any awkwardness between my teammates. As the night wore on, the shorts became more disoriented and I began making desperate pleas with anyone (including the umpire) who might help me. Soon my shorts had overtaken me and teammates began to observe that they gave the illusion of a cheap pair of spandex! Oh well…we won both games and my shorts were punished with static spray as soon as I got home.
