Hi Kai,

Your choice is a highly effective choice if you want to discipline your house cat. But for defending your family it will leave quite a bit to be desired.

You reminded me of the old joke about the guy who brought the knife to the gun fight, and that in turn reminded me of another joke. But in order to understand this joke, you first need to know that the people from south Louisiana are called Cajuns, a derivative of French that came to South Louisiana by way of Quebec. You also need to understand that the Acadian people (Cajuns) were by definition illiterate until 1976, because that was the year that a Catholic priest in Lafayette, LA, first published a dictionary and primer of the Cajun language. Prior to that, there was no written form of the Cajun language. And being illiterate by definition, the group as a whole developed a reputation for being "less than brilliant."

So how can you tell when a Cajun is at the cock-fight?

He brings a duck.

And how can you tell when the Mafia is at the cock-fight?

The duck wins.
