Was there video of the event ? The rest of your class must have been very entertained. A-Jay

Someone sent me this - thought I'd share. I could almost see me doing this - almost. A-Jay 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 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 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! PS: 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 Just Had A Prostate Check ~

Every so often we have these - oh, let's call them small gaps in communication. The difference between this site and others is how they are approached and handled by the members. So the question has been asked and answered. A-Jay

Good Luck on your quest - those water temps look to be prime time for a jerkbait. A-Jay

NICE ~ ! That had to be fun. Perch-zilla on the hook. A-Jay

Would it be possible to have the boat on plane at the time ? A-Jay

I've been enjoying his show for some time now. But I always want to yell "Look Out" right before he takes his knee out on that trailer hitch. A-Jay

Been there - first day on Erie last year, I fried my face off - had to bob and weave the rest of the week. A-Jay

Most after market trebles are an upgrade from stock hooks though there are a few exceptions. But I am not a fan of sureset hooks at all. Lost fish is my reason. A-Jay

Congrats on a couple of early season Fatties ~ Looks like it was a fairly decent day weather wise as well . . . A-Jay

Surprisingly, I got that the very first time, and the second time and the third time as well. A-Jay

I was 7. A-Jay

WOW ~ ! That's a Looooooooooooooong Cuda. A-Jay

You do not pay her insurance company - make the company you pay your hard earned money to, do their job. Get any and all money from your own company and let your insurance company deal with all the administrative matters. I will not ever speak to any other company other than the one I pay and I refer all matters to them. That's their job. Otherwise, what are you paying them for ? ? ? ? ? Time is money and you spent yours so that if and when this happened, you have already paid for someone else to deal with this in advance. A-Jay

Aside from being just plain painful to have to wait that long; no one can tell us WHY the big delay. Fish are not spawning now. So it make no difference when the ice is out, we're still just sitting here not bass fishing ~ It's foolish. I should just go back to Mexico . . . . . . . . . . . A-Jay

Congrats on the Sweet reel ~ But doesn't that handle need an upgrade ? A-Jay

Congrats on the PB Smallie. Bronzebacks Rule ~ A-Jay

Recently it's been . . . . ~ The Scrounger ~ A-Jay

Happy Birthday Dwight ~ Now get that boat ready and find those beastly Smallies . . . . . . . . . . A-Jay

To the OP - Props to you for posting this up, it's a fantastic topic and one not often written about here. Unfortunately this thread has generated very little interest which is not surprising. It does explain why often times search efforts are complicated unnecessarily. Perhaps a different thread name like Shimano is bogus, might bring more members to check it out. A-Jay

Not even close. A-Jay

^^^^^^^^^^^^ Me too. A-Jay

No way, really - say it isn't so shimmy . . . . A-Jay
