Wasp Spray

You no longer need to keep your .45 or AK-47 sitting out on the coffee table... a can of wasp spray will do!

A receptionist in a church in a high-risk area was concerned about someone coming into the office on Monday to rob them when they were counting the collection. She asked the local police department about using pepper spray and they recommended to her that she get a can of wasp spray instead. The wasp spray, they told her, can shoot up to twenty feet away and is a lot more accurate, while with the pepper spray they have to get too close to you and could overpower you. The wasp spray temporarily blinds an attacker until they get to the hospital for an antidote. She keeps a can on her desk in the office and it doesn't attract attention from people like a can of pepper spray would. She also keeps one nearby at home for home protection. You could also keep it in your car and it's perfectly legal.

On the heels of a break in and beating that left an elderly woman in Toledo dead, self-defense experts have a tip that could save your life.

Val Glinka teaches self-defense to students at Sylvania Southview High School. For decades, he's suggested putting a can of wasp and hornet spray near your door. Glinka says, "This is better than anything I can teach them."

Glinka considers it inexpensive, easy to find, and more effective than mace or pepper spray. The cans typically shoot 20 to 30 feet; so if someone tries to break into your home, Glinka says "spray the culprit in the eyes". It's a tip he's given to students for decades. It's also one he wants everyone to hear.

Over the weekend someone broke into the Austin Street home of 83-year-old Cecilia Sobecki. The suspect robbed and beat Sobecki, breaking her hip and wrist. Sunday, Sobecki died. The suspect is still on the loose. If you're looking for protection, Glinka says look to the spray. "That's going to give you a chance to call the police; maybe get out." Maybe even save a life.

Jesus Is Watching You

A burglar broke into a house one night. He shined his flashlight around, looking for valuables.

He picked up a CD player to place in his sack, when a strange, disembodied voice echoed from the dark, saying, "Jesus is watching you."

He nearly jumped out of his skin, clicked his flashlight off, and froze. When he heard nothing more after a bit, he shook his head and continued.

Just as he pulled the stereo out so he could disconnect the wires, clear as a bell he heard: "Jesus is watching you."

Freaked out, he shined his light around frantically, looking for the source of the voice.

Finally, in the corner of the room, his flashlight beam came to rest on a parrot.

"Did you say that?" he hissed at the parrot.

"Yep," the parrot confessed, then squawked, "I'm just trying to warn you that he's watching you"!

The burglar relaxed. "Warn me, huh? Who in the world are you?"

"Moses," replied the bird.

"Moses?" the burglar laughed. "What kind of people would name a bird Moses?"

"The kind of people that would name a Rottweiler Jesus."

The Importance of Walking

1) Walking 20 minutes can add to your life.
This enables you at 85 years old to spend an additional 5 months on a nursing home at $7000 per month.

2) My grandpa started walking five miles a day when he was 60…
Now he's 97 years old... and we haven't a clue where the hell he is.

3) I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me.

4) The only reason I would take up walking is so that I could hear heavy breathing again.

5) I have to walk early in the morning, before my brain figures out what I'm doing..

6) I joined a health club last year, spent about 400 bucks.
Haven't lost a pound. ....apparently you have to actually go there.

7) Every time I hear the dirty word 'exercise', I wash my mouth out with chocolate.

8) I do have flabby thighs, but fortunately my stomach covers them.

9) The advantage of exercising every day is so when you die, they'll say, 'Well, he looks good doesn't he.'

10) If you are going to try cross-country skiing, start with a small country.

11) I know I got a lot of exercise the last few years,......
just getting over the hill was enough.

12) We all get heavier as we get older, because there's a lot more information in our skulls. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
