Bug-A-Salt - bug killing shotgun (uses table salt).

A miniaturized shotgun effect is generated through this ingenious design. Ordinary table salt is utilized as a lethal projectile with accuracy range of within 3 feet. Bugs will remain whole for easy clean up.

1) a cartoon showing a bird or spider or whoever comes upon the salted remains of the bugs: "Yum, seasoned perfectly!"

2) "you'll shoot your eye out" takes on even more painful meaning. Bad enough getting shot in the eye, but with salt? Oye.

3) how frikken good does your aim have to be to nail a fly??? I see salt all over the house.

But an interesting idea nonetheless.

Who said you never learned anything useful in elementary school!!!

P.S. It isn't advisable to take me on in a rubber band fight.
