Default Fly Swatter

Some skeptic might say this post is a tad off topic, but since many of
us spend quite a bit of time outdoors by our cookers, I can justify
mentioning it here. Harbor Freight is having a sale on their electric
fly swatters. For $2.98, you can't go wrong. The suckers will pop a
fly, bee, wasp or other flying critter as well as a big bug zapper. If
you have a Harbor Freight store anywhere near, I suggest you get
several. They make great Christmas presents.

If you know what is good for you, you will *NOT* swat your wife,
girlfriend or significant other on the butt with one. Don't ask how I
know this...

Do they work on people, too?


See my response to Nonnymus.

Looks like it'd be fun on lightning bugs.


I thought of that, but never got to try it. I can't find my zapper.
See my response to Nonnymus.

That is sage advice, BOB. May I also add that you should never pick one
up by the grid right after using it. It takes the bleed down resistor a
bit of time to discharge it. I speak from experience on this.

FWIW, when I was a kid my Dad gave me an old neon sign transformer.
That sucker could lay out a magnificent arc and made a really cool
Jacob's Ladder- type of toy. I learned from experience that you don't
touch the secondary lead with a graphite pencil in your hand.
