Deep Dark Fears by Fran Krause for November 16, 2023

Not a bad idea.

Get some fruit juice too, if you need to pack a punch.

Get a can of spinach and be like Popeye.

Two days ago, I was having a discussion with someone and this came up. His grandmother used to keep a can in her purse. She one successfully fought off a mugger with it.

Will that work against a mugger who is armed with a piece of fresh fruit? Fresh fruit is usually considered superior to canned… more antioxidants, better flavor, and no added sugar.

Best to arm yourself with a ripe durian. As good as “mace” or bear spray – hit a mugger with this stuff and he’ll be off in an alley hurling his guts out.

(although I suppose that a can of surströmming would serve much the same purpose, if you really want to stick with cans)

if i tried that, the straps would probably come of the bag as i was swinging it. but the attacker would die of laughter…

Hummm. A totally different perspective on getting sacked!

Or you could put a frozen Hawaiian pizza on top and muggers will think you are crazy and not worth robbing…

I miss seeing new strips of Deep Dark Fears
