Household tip for today (Just call me Heloise)

Copy of an e-mail I received today. There are some caveats with this idea. Check out "wasp spray" on snopes.

You no longer need to keep your .45 or AK-47 sitting out on the coffee table... a can of wasp spray will do! I never would have thought of it !!!

I have a friend who is a receptionist in a church in a high risk area who was concerned about someone coming into the office on Monday to rob them when they were counting the collection. She asked the local police department about using pepper spray and they recommended to her that she get a can of wasp spray instead. The wasp spray, they told her, can shoot up to twenty feet away and is a lot more accurate, while with the pepper spray they have to get too close to you and could overpower you. The wasp spray temporarily blinds an attacker until they get to the hospital for an antidote. She keeps a can on her desk in the office and it doesn't attract attention from people like a can of pepper spray would. She also keeps one nearby at home for home protection. You could also keep it in your car and it's perfectly legal. Thought this was interesting and might be of use...

Of course you have a lot more fun using the 0.45 and the results are more lasting........

In an "attacker" and an admirer might be somewhat different.
All that money spent to look and smell attractive might attract both!

Ever try to tease a vicious hungry dog with a steak, then hide the steak and kick the dog?
