    clear, rigid feminine pleasure device

    I'm sorry but that phrase is just too funny.

    Great, I've just spat tea all over my opaque, rigid, multi-gender typing device!

      Oh I wish this had happened in Texas or somewhere deep south.

      I can hear it now:

      "Cleeyah rijidd femmin-eye-ne pleezhur deevice"

      In Paris, Texas, even better.

    you should see some of the rigid feminine pleasure devices on sale here in Amsterdam

    if one of them was waved at me with violence in mind, I'd turn and run.

    fast and far.

    (oh-beer-thirty approaches. Fast)

      I think..

      When confronted with such a weapon it is always wise to back the first few steps away before presenting the enemy with a potential target.

    "clear, rigid feminine pleasure device"

    I didn't know they came in clear. I am clearly behind the times. Here silly me I presumed they were all flourescent pink or something. Shall immediately proceed to the appropriate local business establishment for Remedial Sex-Toys 101 class to remedy this situation.

    Rigid? Wobblesome?

    Surely it can't be both?

      Rigid but wobblesome

      It's perfectly possible to conceive of a device, member or extremity which is intrinsically or under certain circumstances rigid, but flexibly attached to a handle, body, arm or control device, which makes it act in a wobblesome manner, particularly when waved.

      Paris. Do I need to draw pictures?

      1. IglooDude

        Pictures?

        Draw them? No. Photographs will do nicely, thanks.

    Clear and Rigid ?

    That would indicate a perspex/acrylate love-pouch popsicle, although the wobblesome comment seems to hint at a silicone suitor.

    So what was it?

    May I be permitted to contribute.......

    ..........a very old headline from a (I believe) Hollywood newspaper from many decades ago?

    "Hix pix nix in stix".

    Which apparently meant that films set in rural America did not go down very well amongst audiences in rural America. Other than that I can only say that if that is the worst that the officer faces in the course of his career, he is clearly on a winner.

    Title

    Hmm... This leaves me pondering the possibilities for weaponization of such things. We've already seen the helicockter, of course ( http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/05/20/cock_copter_shocker/ ). But this makes me want to build something along the lines of a Nerf missile launcher. Or perhaps one of those compressed air guns they use to launch t-shirts and such at sporting events...

    Any other ideas?

    The title is clearly misleading, no body got shocked or tasered.

    That's prejudice, Reg, and you know it. I await your reportage of the trial next month, together with a full retraction and apology in the event that the defendant is found not guilty.
