"Let's face it - when you turn around, all unsuspecting, and find yourself confronting a wee wummin, five foot tall, ... trying not to look bored - well, you just kind of fling yourself underneath the nearest trestle table, don't you?"

"It's when someone gets coronated - as I once heard on that charming US TV proggy about three witch sisters."

The lucky person is connected to a very high voltage source of electricity. Their hair will stand on end and they will be surrounded by a glow - a corona discharge.
