Laser Pointer
I bought a laser pointer today, at pet club of all friggin’ places, and it just seems hilarious and insensitive. Your cat gets driven out of it’s MIND chasing that thing, and we all just laugh it off. But laser pointers, I have found from just a few fun filled, laugh digested, defying the law hours, can be used for MANY things. For instance, they say it’s not cool to be talking on a cell phone while you drive, and if you have a major case of road rage, just take out the laser pointer and point it in the guys eyes. You may cause a bigger pile up than the guy on the cell phone EVER would, but at least you wouldn’t be late to work, and you’d be able to say, smugly too, “I help the economy.”
Laser Pointers are often used in colleges when professors need to give a presentation. But students now use them in classrooms to IRRITATE the very people who use them. I once saw a movie where someone had a laser pointer on the screen for a few minutes, not very cool. You could also make some badass Halloween costumes just by taping it to your head. Predator, or Terminator. Whichever you choose. Laser Pointers have some very practical uses. I’m not condoning laser pointing to cause traffic accidents or to bug your teacher, or even to play with your cat. I’m just saying they can be used for many things.
The thing I DON’T understand about them is that on the back of the box it tells you “KEEP AWAY FROM RETINA” (your eyeballs, for all you non-scientific folk out there). Yet, people get laser corrective surgery to FIX their eyes. Anybody else see a flaw here? SOMETHING IS LOSING F*CKING GROUND HERE.
