Why don't you ask the police? They and the first person you zap with the
spray are the only ones that will really care.

In other news...

I've recently been approached by a person who peddles nifty portable (and not
so portable) alarms for you, a bike, a car, or even a home. I don't go for 
Amway sound-alikes normally, but then I heard a infomercial of sorts on CNN
for these things, and I'm beginning to wonder. They're marketed by a company
called Quorum, and CNN made them sound like the greatest thing ever. I have the
number for the company if anyone decides they just HAFTA have one of these 
things.
