It only takes 8 clicks…

Apparently, it only takes 8 clicks on a stun gun to knock you out cold.

The other day I had a conversation at work with my boss and a consultant we work with about childhood adventurousness. (Spell check tells me that adventurousness IS a word) Bear in mind, they are both men. They began with typical childhood games increasing in dangerousness incrementally and had settled on inhaling helium from a tank because it’s better, (Why better? You ask. Because there’s MORE.) when all of a sudden…

Consultant: Did you know it takes 8 clicks on a stun gun to knock you unconcious?

Me & Boss: …?

Consultant: No really, we used to play with it. You get quite a buzz! (A-hyuk)

Boss: Are you SERIOUS?

Me: Wait! Wait! How did you determine that?

Consultant: Uhh….

Me: Is there like a warning on the label? In the event of self-use, 8 clicks and you WILL lose consciousness. Do not use in shower.

Consultant: Uhh….

Boss: *Choking on laughter*

Me: *Cracking up so hard I can barely talk* Can you imagine? I can see it now! Click. Nope. Click. Nope. Click. Nope. Click… yep, that did it.

Boss to me: THIS is the guy were counting on for the project.

I realize that boys are stupid in general and dangerous in little bursts but this was a bit excessive. The thing is… I want to test the theory… Any volunteers?
