Who Knew?

The other day while we were at Wal-Mart, we walked past a fly-swatter and I decided to put it in our basket. Mike asked me earlier in the week to get one. I guess he got tired of the girls crying everytime he wanted to use one of their American Girl magazines.

So this is what I got:

While I was finishing up my shopping, I noticed the girls laughing while holding the fly swatter of all things. Then I noticed them reading the back of it. Ariel said mom, you gotta hear this. Then she read the back of this: It's hard to read, but this is what it says: 888 CIVILLAN USES--Here are 8:

1. Keep it in the truck for the winter and use it as a windshield scraper.



2. For those that don't mind spreading a little bug shrapnel, try it as a backscratcher.



3. Emergency toothpick (works well but don't let your wife catch you). Andrea here: This is me gagging....Can you say GROSS!



4. Canoe Paddle, Never know when you'll be up that creek without a real one.



5. Makes a good fish club.



6. Soda Can crusher.



7. Redneck Badminton



8. Manual Mouse trap
   

Then it provides this note of caution:

• While Sergent Swat is effective on most campsite pest; it has been shown to only aggravate bears.



• Meant for backyard warfare between you and the flys-not your neighbors or dogs.



• Keep away from unruly kids (unless you like getting thwacked).
  

Okay, and I thought the people at Arm & Hammer Baking Soda Company were good at Marketing! Who knew!
