The mother is worried about the sound of jackhammers on her unborn baby while smoking?? (At least that is what I think while holding a cigarette in her hand).
I work in retail and for the most part the majority (like 99%) of customers are civilized, quite nice and a pleasure to serve. It's the one percent that are truly mad, crazy and should not be allowed to breed (or exist for that matter).
I remember seeing them in those boutique department stores in Tokyo. I can't remember how much they cost but they cost a lot! Something like a box of 5 (4 is an unlucky number in Japan) for US$8-9. They look easy to make from the link. Looks good too.
I say bring on the cattle-prod!
Same with GeekyGirl; the original Neatorama was more interesting and had quality posts.
