Rose pink suited her much better. She now always has it with her.

When atacked you were supposed to use this to "rake" your assailant's face, causing him such pain he would run away crying like a little girl, incidently leaving behind a DNA sample. Standard comments about it in venues such as The High Road (or maybe The Firing Line, I don't remember) ran along the lines of whether the coroner could get a useful DNA sample of the assailant after removing the 911 Jack from a dead person's bodily orifices.<BR/>Oddly enough, I can't find any references to it on the web anymore...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-1165081052318573172006-12-02T12:37:00.000-05:002006-12-02T12:37:00.000-05:00Huh. 1/4 of a brass knuckle.I wonder if it's occur...Huh. 1/4 of a brass knuckle.<BR/><BR/>I wonder if it's occured to anyone that if you whould pop someone in the noggin with this thing, you stand a more than good chance of breaking your finger?
