Some folks just have no sense of humor. Tazing the guy doesn't seriously harm him.
I just heard some comedian on my XM comedy chanel the other day --
"My mother was nurturing. 'Don't touch that hot stove, you'll burn yourself'. My father was more of a practical teacher. 'Don't touch that stove', he'd say. 'Why not, Daddy?' 'Go ahead and touch it, and find out,' he'd say."
That's just funny.
