My personal trainer is friends with some bouncers at a few nightclubs here in St. Louis. In the middle of my workout this morning, he tells me that ladies purses are now being checked as they enter the bar–for a can of green beans and a tube sock.
It’s a form of self-defense where they assemble the two once in the bar by dropping the can into the sock, then when they feel threatened, they whip it out , swing it around like a lasso and whack the guy giving them a hard time.
Just imagining this in the bar made me laugh hysterically (especially when trying to lift heavy weights), but after some thought, I wanted to bring this up to the bloggers and get your thoughts on it.
What happened to the days of mace? Is it the economy that’s causing us to come up with “cheaper” ways of self-defense? Some ladies must have performed this ninja magic enough times so bars are finally making it their policy to prevent it.
