        At Maine Public Broadcasting we had nylon carpet and LOTS of
        static charge. Not good for people or equipment.

        In a dull moment, I took a few 1 meg resistors, curled and
        soldered the ends to eliminate sharp points and gave them to
        anyone who was interested.

        When we approached a known "zap point" we would pull our little
        gizmos out and, holding one end of the resistor, touch the
        object.

        The charge is dissipated painlessly. Guests in the studios would
        get this weird look on their face when offered one . . .
