I didn't want to hijack the Pepper Spray thread, so I'll start this one. But that thread reminded me of a little "incident" that happened to us in late September.
I was watching the Florida Gator football game online one quiet Saturday evening and about 10 feet away from me in the jam of the slider going out to the back patio, I heard a loud "BWOOOSH" bomb thing go off. Toby was beating feet away, the cat screamed past me and Perla ran out the front.
I looked up and a small cloud emerged from just outside the door.
Alida came running in from the kitchen screaming "RUN OUTSIDE! RUN OUTSIDE!". She ran past and turned on a floor fan pointed toward the back door.
I was like "WTF!!!!" I got up and went toward the door. Then it hit me: my eyes, nose and face started burning. BAD. I mean BAD!
I went out with Alida wondering Tear Gas??? Who in the Sam Hell would toss tear gas into the porch??? The weekend cabana renters next door who seemed to be so civil and orderly?
So I walked around the house, face on fire...and nothing.
15 minutes later I go back in and it's OK, although I still burned all over. I went to the porch and there it is: Alida's small pepperspray canister she keeps on her nightstand. With two bite mark punctures.
Toby had gone in, taken it off the nightstand, took it outside...and pierced it with his teeth. It 'spoded in his mouth, and he was none too happy about it, I assure you (although he was OK...)
But wait! There's more: after the excitement settled and I was ready to take a shower. My face was sweaty and tingly so I wiped it with my T-Shirt when I took it off.
Big Mistake.
It had pepper spray residue on it, and my face was on fire worse than before for another 15 minutes...
Did I say thay crap burns :speechles:hurt::surprised???
