Long but XTREMELY Hilarious!!!!

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 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 dipshit,' 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 . .

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?

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 !!!

Funny story!!!!

Thanks. I think I peed myself!

Pretty damn funny! Hard to believe that so much power can come from a couple of AAA batteries, but it can. I was playing with an old camera one day, had it all apart, just looking at it's innards. My son who was about 8 at the time was watching me. He asked to see it, so I handed it to him. All of a sudden his eyes opened wide, his mouth hung open, hed dropped the camera and started crying. I thought he cut his finger on an exposed piece of camera innard. I asked what happened, he just looked at me, said he just pushed the button...

The built in flash! I snapped the shutter and listened to the tell-tale high pitched whine as the capacitor recharged. I graabbed it as he did, snapped the shutter again..

Holy friggin' crap! I felt a burn in my fingertips, my entire arm shook, and the hair on the back of my neck stood up. I have no idea how many volts get stored up but I'm sure it was probably a fraction of the what the tazer dude felt!

Great story! We used to shock each other as kids in electronics class with charged up capacitors, big fun!

No way I'm volunteering for taser demo.. I know some very big boys with the PD that have had the honor and their stories will have to suffice.

. . . back in the day when I carried my lunch to work in metal pail, I welded my partner's to the bench . . . So when he grabbed it at the end of the shift . . . all he got was the handle! Pretty funny I thought. I didn't realize how pissed he really was. A couple of weeks later, I grab my lunch box heading out the door . . . AND BAM!!!!!!!! The sonofabitch had wired a Model T coil to the bench . . . . just about blew the toes out of my boots. My arm hurt for week, and my hand was blistered where the handle burned into it!!!!!

Duff, now where in the world would you have gotten this?? HMMMM... I think this is really one of the funniest things I've read in some time. The guy writes well and can't you just picture this guy sitting ther and doing all this? What a riot!

Pretty AMAZING story Duff !!! Shocking, just shocking !

His wife now calls him "Sparky."

They have an electric relationship.

She said "Let me know if this hertz."

He meditates "OHM... OHM... OHM..."

She asked him, "Watt made you do that?"
