The Power of God in the Palm of My Hand!

Ok - like I've said, I live rural Madison County NY. It's a very simple and scenic place and it's just as low-brow as you'd imagine. I was raised here, I've lived in Syracuse and in Holley, NY (close to Brockport) , but other than that I've lived here all my life (and I make fun of that choice far more than anyone else).

So, I'm more suprised than anyone by the fact that I LOVE THIS HANDHELD BUG ZAPPER that I picked up last weekend at -- where else -- WalMart!


For $7.12 and 2 AA batteries (not included, of course) I have the power of a mass serial killer as I walk through the house (or just sit here and wave the damn thing) and get a little thrill each time I hear that ZAP! ZAP!! sizzzle...

And yes, it scares the cats and I don't think Domino is a fan either, and yes, you do get a little shock if by chance you touch the wires while the button is compressed (so Shawn tells me and I didn't ask for further details), and yes, the larger bugs smell when fried. But sweet Jesus! I love this little thing and the small and creepy thrill I get when I use it.

Is that a fly....?? ZAP! ZAP!! sizzzle.

I understand the thrill you get when you zap bugs; it's probably the same sick thrill I get when I hear dirt being sucked up in my new vacuum cleaner. (evil laugh)
