True. It removes the DC component.

No they don't. Static discharges are almost 'delta pulses' and hence have a 
very high frequency content. For very high frequencies, a capacitor is actually 
a short, not an open!

Uhmm.. you mean large enough.. The larger the capacitor, the lower the cut-off 
frequency. You are making a high-pass filter with the C and the impedance of 
the amplifier.
