Deadly candy
I've been mulling over the idea of carrying a personal weapon around. Not just for protection but as sort of a signature to my personality. I thought of something rather clever, and i'd like to share it here. For my sidearm, I took a trip to the candy store in the mall.
I'm sure you all know what jawbreakers are, (gobstoppers to you UK folk) and you've probably seen some that can be small as peas or some big as a softball. I got the idea to buy the biggest one I could find (one pound) to carry around. It's not illegal, and it's pretty heavy and dense. But the jawbreaker alone isn't very useful, so I also bought one of those nets filled with chocolate gold coins. I emptied out the net (although left a few foil wrappers in) put the jawbreaker inside and tied the opening in a knot. Now i've got myself a pretty handy sap, of sorts.
Although it has disadvantages like needing room to swing it, as well as the jawbreaker possibly swinging back to hit my arm, I think it's decent for now. Since it's just candy in a net, I most likely wouldn't get in trouble for carrying it. So, what do you think? |
