News Flash From OZ ******
Just Watching one of the local 6 pm regional news programs. 4
brave police officers were the first of 150 on the mid north
coast of NSW-OZ
to be trained in the use of Cap spray. The Brand was M.K. first
alert,
a approximatly 3-4 inch tall can which seemed to shoot a stream
of solution -{non toxic-vegetable based according to the
trainer}.
"I wouldn't mind a job training the trainers."- said Luke.
The officers who were sprayed were washed off with detergent,
water and saline solution. Now as any good Chile-Head knows this
doesn't work really all that well. I also wondered how many of
them experienced a case of Hunan Willie, {with appologies here
to Bill Clinton} after the event as they seemed to be wiping
their hands all over their faces.
A 20 minute recovery time was also quoted.
I was wondering if anybody on the list knew if this cap spray
was any worse than getting a face full of Daves Insanity. {yes I
did once or twice shake a bottle when the lid was not screwed on
properly}, but in my defense I did try to get my tounge around
all the sauce it could reach as I ran screaming to the shower.
On the second occasion I managed to kiss a particulary obnoxious
5yr old child on the way.<G> Who me I said as I emerged 10
minutes later from taking a long shower and using 2
litres/Quarts of Milk {full Cream} as a face wash.
Anyway enough of the rambling.
P.S. Just spent a whole week Playing Masters Baseball here in
Coffs,
played 12 games and our team lost the Final to the over 40's
team
19-9 ,. Now as I'm 44 I should have been on that team but they
only had 3 guys in the under 40's team so some of us lied about
our height and played for them. Still Got a gold medal
though...Hope we get more players for the 2000 games.
