ONLY A MAN WOULD ATTEMPT THIS

Just try reading this without laughing ' til 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. 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 triple-A 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 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; 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; pretty cute really and (loaded with two itsy, bitsy triple-A batteries) 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 c*cked to one side as to say, ' don ' t do it dipsh*t, ' reasoning that a one second burst from such a tiny little 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 GOD . . WEAPONS OF MASS

DESTRUCTION . . . WHAT THE

HELL!!!

I ' m pretty sure Jessie Ventura 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?

IT HURT LIKE HELL!!!

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 pooped on myself, 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 nuts 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 !!!

Yeah, only a man would go through something like that to ensure his wife would be safe.

You missed the end of the story, after that he ate a cold can of green beans, a raw tater and went for a 10k run.

While I've never met (or even seen) him in person, I get the feeling that a piddly taser wouldn't have much of an effect on Iceroadtrucker, lol ;)

OMG I haven't laughed that hard in a long time, I am absolutely in tears :)

We had a neighbor once that, while drunk, talked his 14 yr old stepson into putting a dog shock collar on his leg and then crossing the invisible fence. I kept wondering who was more stupid the man or the kid and I have to admit it was kinda funny watching that kid hopping around yelling because it hurt :p It probably would have stopped hurting sooner if he had gotten away from the flags marking the underground wire....he just kept hopping around over them and it kept shocking lol :D

OMG I am laughing so hard I cried, too.
(My dad and I would both have my sister (when she was 8 or 9) 'test' the electric fence to make sure it was working, worked for a couple years!)

When I was about 14 years old the neighbor wanted me to help him check out the spark plug wires on his car. Oh Boy!! thought I. I can really help work on a car. Sooooo, with a big grin on his face, he has me grab hold of the spark plug wire while he cranks the engine. To his suprise and disappointment, nothing happened. I didn't get knocked on my azz. Come to find out his coil or something was weak.

The training my grandson received for law enforcement included being tasered. His comment on it was somewhat like yesteryear wrote.

Listening to the news the other morning on "Bring your rugrat to work day" it seems somebody took their kid and the whole class to work. Work having to be the local prison. Somebody decided to tazer the kids. I think second graders. I don't think it was pretty. Some parents were pizzed off for some reason.
