...If that would work, that is.
I don't know as it would work, because you are constantly in contact with the ground, and since electricity takes the path of least resistance, it wouldn't go through someone else. Since a big is not in contact with the ground, and you are, guess who'd be getting the shock.  |

Yeah, it would be cool to have some kind of active defense against these flying terrors. So far, I kind of favor the hat trick--which seems really simple and direct.
Gaaaaaah!! I think one of them chased my car!! I was scoping out the park to see if there might be deer flies. When I saw there were actually people enjoying themselves, I was convinced and did a U-turn for home. I pulled out of the intersection and in my rearview saw some insane zig-zagging bug following trying to land on the rear glass. Had to get it up to 25mph to loose it. Well the hell?!!? Needless to say, I haven't been outdoors since. Tomorrow's windy. I might go out then.
[edit]
Maybe a balaclava would help.
