        'Soon after you've tumbled-dried a load of clothes, preferably
nylons  
or polyesters, remove the articles from your dryer. Have an AM radio  
close at hand, turned on and tuned to a quiet spot on the dial. Now  
pull apart some garments that are "stuck" together. Along with the  
popping, you'll here static crashes coming out of your radio speaker.'
