News flash for Son o’ Wrekk: kudzu extract reduces alcohol consumption, according to one (small) study:
I’m thinking nobody would have a second glass of Kudweiser.
Ha! You don’t know Son-of-a-wrek he’ll drink most anything.
I’m going to giggle over “bugminton” for the rest of the day!
The gizmos take practice. It rarely can be used like an actual fly swatter. Instead, the correct tactic is to wait for the bug to land on a flat surface. Then the racket part is gently lowered until said bug is trapped. Once the bug decides to flee, the bug flies straight up…into the grid. The bug hunter then depresses the button, shooting zillions of volts (or watts, or amps, or whatever the Hell measurement of electricity is correct) and the bug is electrocuted.
The male human then has an instinctive need to bring the bug zapper with the toasted bug to a female human, who is supposed to heap praise for the deadly accomplishment.
Keep bug zappers away from kids. They don’t have the patience to operate them correctly, and end up hitting each other on the butt or over the head, hoping to electrocute each other.

I WILL be getting these!
That would be Amperes, (named after Andre Marie Ampere. The French give the name of the Holy Virgin to boys as well as girls.) a measurement of current.
Current, Amps go through the bug. Volts (named after Allesandro Volta) appear across the bug. Power (Watts, name after Sir Issac Watt) is the product of voltage and current; the amount of power that is used to incinerate the harmless insect, who is just trying to make a living.
Wow, Carni*, how very informative of you. Would object to me printing that out for future reference?

Of course not. 
Ooh, thanks for all the pics!
