Ok so your in an office meeting, or you're delivering a speach somewhere and fudge things up, you know everyone from then on will mock you for your mistake until you do something even more humiliating, (and once you made one humiliating mistake you are almost doomed to do another)

So what is the answer? a stun gun! Its a toy gun that looks like an oversized revolver loaded with various objects such as fake decapitated thumbs, those springy snakes, and minature rubber chickens. So when you screw up and people start giving you looks you whip this out and aim it at the dominant male/female of the group and fire shooting the surreal/tacky/cheesey objects roughly 6 inches before they plop to the floor and make a squishy toy noise.

The action will be so unexpected that everyones short term memory will be erased allowing you to re-start your speech or run for the exit.

       I hope the category weapon: countermeasure didnt mislead anone to what this product would be about, I dont envision anything that would be the least bit deadly, I imagine this being more the power equivalent of a nerf gun except that unlike with nerf the bullets this gun fires are never intended to reach their target.

       Actually, I thought it was funny. But the people in the room won't, that's for sure. And they will never forget...

       As I understand this, you want to shock and confuse your audience to the point they forget your enomous social blunder and only remember the rubber chicken...

What? You think People are stupid enough to fa...

Look, a big rubber chicken...
KEWL!

       Shock & Awe could have used these.

       I usually get my speaches delivered right to my house, so I don't have to worry about being embarassed by them. But I think this idea is fundamentally sound. A big juicy peach for you.
