A friend was afraid he was going to get shanked by someone so I gave him a can of mace. He left it in the back seat of his car and went home for a nap. The kids got home and mom loaded them up to take them to hockey practice and the youngest picked up the can and sprayed it as the car was backing out of the drive. Mom backed into a light pole on the other side of the street and they all fell out of the car gasping for breath and crying. Five years later she still blames me.

I got maced over the weekend. Had just witnessed an accident and was about to give my statement to a cop. I was sitting in the passenger seat of his cruiser, he gets in and sits down and somehow his mace can activated. I scrambled quick, but I got a flavor of what it would be like to get a full shot. Pungent stuff. It was a sobering start to the weekend. Going down the hill from my house toward the river, a car comes out of a bend in the road, crosses the yellow line and heads straight for me. I thought for a moment I would have to take evasive maneuvers to avoid a head-on, but he smacks the guard rail, clipping a bicyclist. I thought I was tough, but let me tell you, I couldn't handle being next to the young lady who was hurt. After I went and got a blanket I had to step away. Luckily a woman who is a chiropractor was tending to her and I wasn't needed. There were a couple other people there too. The woman who was hit was very fortunate, she was lucid and talking, but there were obvious injuries. The chiropractor was a real hero. We should all be grateful for people like her.
