    ONLY A MAN WOULD ATTEMPT THIS....

    Sent to me by my father in law...

    Just try reading this without laughing till you cry!!! Pocket Tazer Stun Gun, a great gift for the wife. A guy who purchased his lovely wife a pocket Tazer for their anniversary submitted this:


    Last weekend I saw something at Larry's Pistol & Pawn Shop that sparked my interest. The occasion was our 15th anniversary and I was looking for a little something extra for my wife Julie. What I came across was a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse-sized tazer. The effects of the tazer were supposed to be short lived, with no long-term adverse affect on your assailant, allowing her adequate time to retreat to safety....

    WAY TOO COOL!

    Long story short, I bought the device and brought it home. I loaded two AAA batteries in the darn thing and pushed the button. Nothing! I was disappointed. I learned, however, that if I pushed the button and pressed it against a metal surface at the same time, I'd get the blue arc of electricity darting back and forth between the prongs.

    AWESOME!!!

    Unfortunately, I have yet to explain to Julie what that burn spot is on the face of her microwave. Okay, so I was home alone with this new toy, thinking to myself that it couldn't be all that bad with only two AAA batteries, right?

    There I sat in my recliner, my cat Gracie looking on intently (trusting little soul)while I was reading the directions and thinking that I really needed to try this thing out on a flesh & blood moving target.

    I must admit I thought about zapping Gracie (for a fraction of a second) and then thought better of it. She is such a sweet cat. But, if I was going to give this thing to my wife to protect herself against a mugger, I did want some assurance that it would work as advertised. Am I wrong? So, there I sat in a pair of shorts and a tank top with my reading glasses perched delicately on the bridge of my nose, directions in one hand, and tazer in another.

    The directions said that a one-second burst would shock and disorient your assailant; a two-second burst was supposed to cause muscle spasms and a major loss of bodily control; and a three-second burst would purportedly make your assailant flop on the ground like a fish out of water. Any burst longer than three seconds would be wasting the batteries.

    All the while I'm looking at this little device measuring about 5" long, less than 3/4 inch in circumference (loaded with two itsy, bitsy AAA batteries); pretty cute really, and thinking to myself, 'no possible way!'

    What happened next is almost beyond description, but I'll do my best...

    I'm sitting there alone, Gracie looking on with her head cocked to one side so as to say, 'Don't do it stupid,' reasoning that a one second burst from such a tiny lil ole thing couldn't hurt all that bad. I decided to give myself a one second burst just for heck of it. I touched the prongs to my naked thigh, pushed the button, and ....

    HOLY MOTHER OF.. . WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION . . .. WHAT THE ....!!!

    I'm pretty sure Hulk Hogan ran in through the side door, picked me up in the recliner, then body slammed us both on the carpet, over and over and over again. I vaguely recall waking up on my side in the fetal position, with tears in my eyes, body soaking wet, both nipples on fire, testicles nowhere to be found, with my left arm tucked under my body in the oddest position, and tingling in my legs!

    The cat was making meowing sounds I had never heard before, clinging to a picture frame hanging above the fireplace, obviously in an attempt to avoid getting slammed by my body flopping all over the living room.

    Note: If you ever feel compelled to 'mug' yourself with a tazer, one note of caution: there is NO such thing as a one second burst when you zap yourself! You will not let go of that thing until it is dislodged from your hand by a violent thrashing about on the floor! A three second burst would be considered conservative!

    A minute or so later (I can't be sure, as time was a relative thing at that point), I collected my wits (what little I had left), sat up and surveyed the landscape.

    My bent reading glasses were on the mantel of the fireplace. The recliner was upside down and about 8 feet or so from where it originally was. My triceps, right thigh and both nipples were still twitching. My face felt like it had been shot up with Novocain, and my bottom lip weighed 88 lbs. I had no control over the drooling.

    Apparently I had crapped in my shorts, but was too numb to know for sure, and my sense of smell was gone. I saw a faint smoke cloud above my head, which I believe came from my hair. I 'm still looking for my testicles and I'm offering a significant reward for their safe return!


    P.S... My wife can't stop laughing about my experience, loved the gift and now regularly threatens me with it! If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!

          I saw that quite a while ago, long enough to know the gist if not the details of the story. So yes, I have tears running down my face from reading it again 8)

            I've been doing some long runs and sicker than hell this week....sense of humor was dead.

            Until I read this.

              Yep, that one is classic. To think that somebody out there could write so well and tell that story....I have to believe in my own mind at least that the writer actually DID that, and there is the vivid description.

              Decades ago, there was a story going around on those mimeographed handouts that were the only medium back then for funnies, and they were all hand-drawn. Do y'all remember them? Like, who DREW this? The one I'd love to see again was a letter to a weed eater manufacturer - seems the owner hit a dog turd with it, and there was no warning about not doing that in the packaging. Same sort of intimate detail.

                      I probably shouldn't admit this, but I zapped myself with a stun gun to see what it felt like. Did it on my leg and that damn thing dropped me like a box of rocks!!! It was, lets say, an interesting feeling. :o ;D

                        On our local TV they periodically run a story on the Police Taser training sessions. They always have some poor officer getting shot by some other officer in training. I'm thinking I'd call in sick that day.

                          Funny stuff.

                          We have had a neighbor's-dog problem around here (two families who keep chickens have lost them all because of this) and over the holidays we got a CO2 plastic pellet pistol to perhaps help solve the problem. I had no experience with these...and it turns out it doesn't have the accuracy or range needed...but before I went out shooting anyone's dog with something I figured I better try it on myself first. Yep, it left a mark (felt about like a bee sting), but nothing like what this story is about. :D

                            Speaking of electrical shocks.....I have a Tens unit...basically it is a device that delivers low-grade electrical signals that distract or override pain signals via electrodeds placed near the area you are having pain. For me I use it on my back and it helps a great deal on bad days....Whan I first got it I HAD to play with it....and I talked my son into giving it a try...I put it on his arm and CRANKED it up....he lost controll of his arm and damn near punched himself in the face. We laughed...my wife did not find it funny...women...
