Let me see if I understand the ramifications here.  When we see the prop all 
aglow with St. Elmo's fire, we know a lightning strike is imminent.  We then 
yell for help on the radio, but keying the mike makes the static charge 
disappear.  Then, once everyone on the frequency is listening for the sounds 
of our imminent demise, we can then say "Oh, never mind..."

Sorry, Walter, I probably shouldn't joke about this.  Someday I'll take my 
IFR ticket and actually go where there's real weather instead of just a 
marine layer. Actually, the variety of flying experiences of all you guys is 
truly amazing.  Me, I'm just a Cessna 150 driver hoping for something a 
little faster someday.
