A friend of DH's built these potato guns for an outing of theirs - you
know that male bonding time where women are left home. You'd think he'd
know better given he's a police officer! When DH told me about their
shannigans I just about split my gut laughing.

On a similar note at a county fair they were selling something similar
except for shooting mini marshmellows. The kids loved them. The
schools banned them and I think the parents were not really thinking if
they bought them for their kids. You had to lick the marshmellow then
stick it in the shooter and blow hard. The wet marshmellow would stick
to anything!
