I was about 15 when I built my first inverter to get even with the local bully. He was in my grade, but he would knock younger kids down, then steal and destroy their toys. I made a crappy looking sword out of two 24 inch pieces of galvanized sheet metal, with a layer of contact paper between them, and a well insulated wood handle. The cord was run up my sleeve, and the inverter was in my pocket as I walked by his house. He ran out and "Ordered" me to give it to him. I laughed and told him he'd have to take it away if he wanted it. He grabbed the blade as I turned it on, and he sounded like a cat under a rocking chair. He was screaming that he was going to kill me, so I touched him with the end of the sword and shocked him again. His mother came running, yelling she was going to call the cops, and demanded the sword. He was smart enough to grab her arm to stop her, and told her to forget it. I smiled and told him I had made other booby trapped toys for the kids he had been bullying, and he better watch out unless he liked the shocks. ;-) -- Service to my country?

I clearly stated, "I DO NOT HAVE A BANK ACCOUNT". I am not stupid enough to give any personal information to anyone. I don't have any credit cards, nor do I want any. I haven't used any credit for over 20 years, and I don't intend to. I drive a 19 year old Ford ranger that I rescued from the crusher. When it can't be repaired cheaply I'll either find another castoff, or just give up driving. It causes too much pain for me to drive, anyway. The VA sends me a paper check each month, BTW. -- Service to my country? Been there, Done that, and I've got my DD214 to prove it. Member of DAV #85. Michael A. Terrell Central Florida

I dealt with the local bully by kicking the front wheel of his bicycle from under him He squealed. I needed no electronics to do that. Graham
