A wife was making a breakfast of fried eggs for her husband.
Suddenly, her husband burst into the kitchen. “Careful,” he started, “CAREFUL! Put in some more butter! Oh my gosh! You’re cooking too many at once. TOO MANY! Turn them! TURN THEM NOW!

Don’t forget to salt them. You know you always forget to salt them. Use. The. Salt. USE THE SALT! THE SALT!”
The wife stared at him, irritated and bewildered. “What in the world is wrong with you? You think I don’t know how to fry a couple of eggs?”
The husband calmly replied, “I just wanted to show you what it feels like when I’m driving.
I've had mine for over 40 years, and no problems. This article sums things up nicely, point by point.

The 10 segments combined cover almost 2 hours of instruction, use, legality, effectiveness, etc., of OC Spray. Mr. Haggard is a lively speaker/instructor and keeps things moving. It's worth the time to watch.

NOTE: If anybody is having an issue with the link to the full playlist above, I'm putting up The part 1 video in the series. You click 'Watch On Youtube' and after that, you'll be able to just move from Part 1 to the other parts of the seminar series.
Got the link from a guy I know. I'm not surprised at all. You hear a name like Experian and you think "Ok, it's a big company, must have reasonably good cyber security".
What a load of shit....

This gentleman is about 78 years old and had one hell of a military career. His description of some of the full fledged battles and numerous firefights are absolutely chilling. You'll probably notice when he describing some of the horrendous situations he was in, that he tries to inject some humor. But the look in his eyes and his facial expressions are showing something completely different. This is a long interview guys, but worth watching.
