Just heard the chap next door answering a question from his four year old lad.


Lad :'Daddy, when a birdy lands on one of those big electricity cables, won't it get electryfied?'

Dad: 'No son, that's 'electrocuted'

Lad: 'Daddy, will it get electrocuted?'

Dad:, (whist trying to concentrate) 'Only if it puts one foot on the ground'

Brilliant, lad wandered off perfectly happy with the reply.

When we're out walking with our dogs, I carry a Hotshot cattle prod for protection against large dogs off the leash. The prod is more humane than the baseball bat that I used to carry and use on occasion. When people ask what it is, so I don't have to get in a discussion about it, I tell them what ever comes to mind. I've told people it was a fishing pole, a radio with a long antenna, even once or twice that is was a folding chair. Like the little boy in your post, they seem satsified and move right along.

Dang ! You used to whack dogs with a baseball bat?! And now you’re electrifying them with a cattle prod? Dang man, Bakersfield is tough !

Around here people usually just carry Putters or nine irons !

I carry an old hockey stick with the blade cut off. I use it as a walking stick too.

The guy from the OP's post got off lucky. He didn't get the usual "but why?" after each answer.

The bat was a little too much. I had to use it on a dog that was easily three times, maybe four times bigger than Alex one day several years ago when Alex first came to live with us. His owner came storming up and threw on the brakes when he saw the baseball bat was still fully operational. I felt that the cattle prod was all in all a more humane solution.
