Shocking Clothing

Posted by michael on from the material-girl dept.

harmonics writes "This is absolutely hysterical, it seems a "No-Contact Jacket" has been developed for women by MIT. This thing carries enough voltage to knock you on your duff (80,000 volts), and is decently stylish too. Now to find out how I can get my wife one. Just don't wear it in the rain!" The real question is whether the submitter knew the origin and full meaning of the word "hysterical".

    Are you serious? Does this really puzzle you? It's just the way that the term has been used in the past when addressing women. Wife beaters throughout history have been barking orders at women while calling them "woman" just to remind them that they aren't men, and don't deserve the same respect. Of course it's gonna offend your "female friend" when you use it in the same context.

    Now, now...it could easily have been concieved and built by the fine engineers at the University of Missouri, Rolla. (The ratio there fluxes between 9:1 and 12:1, males:female.) But, in the Ozarks, we like to pride ourselves on creating engineers that have some common sense, as well as being smart. ;-)

    I was having breakfast with my wife one morning, and while I has intended to say, "Honey, could you pass me the butter", it came out as, "YOU RUINED MY LIFE, YOU FUCKING BITCH!"
