Re: Electric Fly Swatters
Alright, so, probably you find them in novelty stores, or open markets or something. You saw them and thought they looked like brightly-coloured tennis raquets, but with metal bars instead of nylon string. If you have seen an item like this, most likely it was an electric fly swatter. The gist of it is that you press a button, and the battery-operated device sends and electric current through the metal grate. Then, when you touch something, it goes zap. I've yet to test it on myself (I'm not that curious about that one), though I have seen Tom Green touch one to a guy's feet while he was getting a massage . . . didn't seem to hurt him grievously or anything . . . . . not that I wanna find out . . . anyway, yeah, you hit a bug with that thing and it's loud. Really loud. It goes "SNAP!" with a spark. The biggest thing I've hit so far was a mosquito, though it was already on its last legs (bro couldn't finish it off due to it being between the sliding doors. I zapped it a couple more times, it twitched a bit, then that was it . . . I felt bad for making it take so long . . .). But yeah, neat little things, I must say . . . for images, click under here:

Oh yeah, apparently "under Customs regulations, any hand-held battery-operated device which emits an electric shock on contact is considered a prohibited import." Something to note . . . . . oh yeah, and the other night, I never did get that fly . . . . . dirty little sod . . .
