    Read this on a forum last night...damn near peed my pants....

    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 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 y 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 cocked to one side as to say, 'don't do it stupid,' 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 ....!!!

    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 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 !!!

[b][size=18]How many zeros in a billion???[/size][/b]

This is too true to be funny...

The next time you hear a politician use the word 'billion' in a casual manner, think aboutwhether you want the 'politicians' spending

[b]YOUR tax money[/b].

A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into some perspective in one of its releases.

A. A billion [b]seconds ago [/b]it was 1959.

B. A billion [b]minutes ago [/b]Jesus was alive.

C. A billion [b]hours ago [/b]our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.

D. A billion [b]days ago [/b]no-one walked on the earth on two feet.

E. A billion [b]dollars ago [/b]was only [color=darkred][b]8 hours and 20 minutes[/b][/color], at the rate our government is spending it.

While this thought is still fresh in our brain... let's take a look at New Orleans

It's amazing what you can learn with some simple division.
Louisiana Senator, Mary Landrieu (D),is presently asking Congress for

[b]250 BILLION DOLLARS[/b]

to rebuild New Orleans .. Interesting number... what does it mean?

A. Well... if you are one of the 484,674 residents of New Orleans, you [b]each get $516,528[/b].

B. Or... if you have one of the 188,251 homes in New Orleans , your home gets [b]$1,329,787[/b].

C. Or... if you are a family of four... your family gets [b]$2,066,012[/b].

Imagine, now [b]$700 billion bailing out banks in the US[/b]. That's enough to fund [b]complete medical care for every man, woman and child currently alive in the US for 11 years!! [/b]

[b]50 billion [/b]to bail out the [b]auto industry[/b]???

Washington , D.C. & Ottawa, ON.

It's not mine. I got it by e-mail with no cited author.

I believe you may do whatever the heck you feel like with it.

I posted it because I thought it a little funny. It almost smelled like ultra-conservatism. I just liked the cynicism in an era where we need, more than ever, to hold our breath collectively and hold each other's hand, whatever the cost may be.

Personally, I don't mind paying high taxes because, someday, it might help you, or you, or you and you out... Why? Because [i]WE[/i] can.

Wow, if you have to gift your wife a teaser for 100,000 volts, you probably live in a very dangerous place. I advise you to consider moving to a safer country. Pay attention to new house for sale in alanya https://mlsworldwide.com/en/sale-turkey-antalya-alanya/new-constructions, as Turkey is one of the safest countries to live in. Excellent climate, sea, beautiful mountains will make your life much more positive.

I have always disliked writing essays and term papers, because my level of English is very weak. I came to USA not so long ago and it is very difficult for me with such subjects where I need to express my thoughts. I love math because it is the same in all languages. And recently I decided to go to https://essayshark.com/term-papers-online.html to buy term papers. In this regard, I requested help from the EssayShark service.

Today, I had a hilarious mishap at school that perfectly sums up the challenges of education. Luckily, sites like https://essayusa.com/buy-term-papers/ are there when I need help balancing everything. Having resources like this makes navigating the ups and downs of education much easier.
