Holiday Gift Guide:
Sporty Electric Bug-Zapping Racket
"Here's the ideal gift for the person on your holiday gift list who enjoys playing sports AND killing flying insects. This is a tennis-racket-shaped device that, thanks to the scientific miracle of batteries, has electricity in it, so that when you swat a flying insect, the insect is instantly electrocuted! OK, maybe not instantly. We tested this device extensively last summer while on vacation, and we found that, if you managed to make contact with a flying insect, the zapper tended to stun it, rather than kill it, so it wound up sort of flopping around on the floor. The bad news was, this meant that you had to then kneel down on the floor and finish the insect off with more zapping. The good news was, we were with a seven-year-old boy who really enjoyed doing this. Be advised that this device is capable of delivering a mildly painful shock to a human. Be further advised that this feature is especially popular with seven-year-old boys."
