ROTFLMAO, Leo. That's a good one. But seriously, since latex is
nonconducting, how could a ground like that work with the other hand
in a bucket of H2O. Also wouldn't that make the work harder with only
one hand free and the other in a bucket? How could ESD make it
through the latex? Sorry to beat dead horse (with apologies to equine
lovers).
