Ouch! Kev, your stoy makes me squirm!

Never underestimate the power of pepper spray. I was once showing my little pocket size pepper spray squirter to a friend when I noticed a bit of pocket lint had collected around the nozzle. I blew it off and when I inhaled, that tiny speck of lint ended up in the back of my throat. We're talking "pin head" size dust. I started hacking and tearing up, friend was laughing so hard they had to sit down. It took 10 minutes and a glass of water to get back to normal. The stuff is amazingly effective. I can only imagine what bear spray must feel like.
