    Somebody sent me this this week. If its been posted before - enjoy it again

    True story. Just try reading this without laughing till 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 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!

    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 !!!

    Haha wow...I've tazer'd myself, but obviously mine isn't as powerful as yours...mine just incapacitates a limb or two, and would certainly give someone a start.
    Personally I feel like you may be exaggerating what happened a bit...police use powerful tazers, and they don't cause people to have crazy seizures...
    but then again, I wasn't there.

    I took a class at my local police department (Valparaiso) and they said they were going to be taking volunteers to get tazed by one of their tazers. The ones they carry. So being the smart 21 year old I can't resist an opportunity like this! The day finally comes and they say they have 2 ways we can do it 1) with the prongs that actually shoot from the gun just like the criminals get or 2) a special demo attachment that has clips that you just clip to yourself. Option number one was my only option. Longest 5 seconds of my life! I can't even explain the pain that goes through your entire body. I'm just glad it only lasts for those 5 seconds.

    I tested my cousin's dog's shock collar on my hand.

    Started at low setting - pretty mild/gets your attention.
    Then went to max setting - debilitating paralysis/borderline cruelty.

    His dog is a sweetheart though. Great birder.
