A most satisfying kzzzappp!
3For many months, one of the tennis-racket-shaped bug zappers sold here on Meh has been sitting in the top layer of a Pile-O-Stuff™ next to my chair, mostly ignored. At some point in the last 24 hours, a mosquito infiltrated the house and went on terrorist-hit-and-run missions around this desk. Many swats of the hand, claps of both hands, and swats from multiple improvised swatting devices failed to end its activities. And then I saw the stub of the handle of the zapper sticking out, extracted it from its hiding place, flipped the switch to “Annihilate With Prejudice”, and gave it a swing past my face. KZZZAAP! No more mosquito.
It is hard to convey the level of satisfaction achieved in that golden moment.
And these days, I need every tiny little victory I can get.

It’s almost satisfying enough to make you want to find a mosquito swarm and see how many you can get before the batteries run out. Almost
@ybmuG cept mosquito guts EVERYWHERE
@tinamarie1974 that’s part of the “almost”. That and all the bites from the ones you can’t possibly stop with one little racket - even if you use one in each hand
