Lights dimming?

Here's a question that's probably already been asked. Occasionally when I'm working residential, a customer will ask, "Why do the lights dim momentarily when my A/C (or other heavy load device) turns on. I try and give a non-technical or tech-light explanation. It's usually the "electricity is like water in a plumbing line. You're taking a shower and someone flushes the toilet. You experience a momentary loss of "pressure."" Any thoughts? pete
