Oh, we’re playing LASER tag? Not TASER tag? My bad…

Okay, just when I’m still not sure why people would bungee jump, or ride those mechanical bulls in a bar, this happens. 

It turns out that at the recent consumer electronic show, in Las Vegas, the Taser people had a booth to show off their new consumer Taser devides for self-defense, and one thing leads to another, and people are actually volunteering to get tasered. Yes. And you wonder why so many people believe in Darwin’s theory?                  Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  Â Â Â Â Â  taser.jpg

Taser employees Justin Hesse (L) and Charles Foster keep him from falling. The consumer versions of the law enforcement taser are expected to be available in the Spring and will retail for $299.95-$349.95, a representative said. REUTERS/Steve Marcus

When you ask them to taze you, you shouldn’t look so shocked.
Er.

Hey, Hank. You think we could maybe market the thing to Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat doctors?
Open you mouth and say, “Ah.” No?

Zap!

Thank you.
