Today, my friend's 11 year old son accidentally shocked himself with our electric fly swatter. Thirty seconds later, while trying to prove to him that it's physically impossible to shock yourself with it, and that it's perfectly safe, I did the exact same thing. FML

Really? An electric fly swatter won't shock something if you hit it against anything? I guess its lucky your hands weren't wet.

WTF? So it happened, there was living proof that it happened, but you didn't believe it. Must be some kind of psychotic idiot.

Wtf is an electric fly swatter? What part of it is electric? I'm so baffled.

an electric flyswatter is just a normal flyswatter, maybe a half the size of a tennis racket, which has electricity flowing through the part of the swatter that you hit the fly with.

it's obviously not harmless if the 11 year old got shocked by it.

YDI for your dogmatic tone! You know when you say "physically impossible", the gods are going to make it happen to punish you for your hubris. Of course, it's physically possible for that thing to shock you, how do you think it kills flies?

Wait, how could you think it's impossible? You do know that when you push the button the entire grid gets charged, right?

Actually, it can be pretty funny to lie about getting shocked: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLWFaKATGl4

Why the hell do you need an electric fly swatter in the first place? Normal one not good enough for you...?

instead of squishing a fly between the swatter and something, the raquet just touches it and falls on the floor. They are also fun to play with
