Laughed all over again!
STUN GUN (Only a guy (or ME!) would do this!)
Pocket Taser Stun Gun, a great
>gift for the wife.
>A guy who purchased his lovely wife a pocket Taser 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
>taser. The effects of the taser 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 triple-a 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

>between the prongs. AWESOME!!!

>Gracie (for a fraction of a second) and thought better of it. She is such

>than three seconds would be wasting the batteries. All the while I'm

>SON-OF-A-... That hurt like hell!!! A minute or so later (I can't be sure, as time was a relative thing at that point), 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. How did they get up there??? 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'm still looking for my
>testicles? I'm offering a significant reward for their safe return. Still in shock.
P.S. My wife loved the gift, and now regularly threatens me with it! "If you think Education is difficult, try being stupid".
