STEVENS POINT, Wis. (AP) - A 41-year-old woman is in jail after police say she went on a blow gun spree in downtown Stevens Point.

The Stevens Point Journal reports that police got a report at 9 p.m. Wednesday from a 25-year-old woman who said she was walking downtown when she felt something hit her chest. In the next half hour, three more people made similar reports. None were seriously injured.

The comments on THIS one should be better than the story.

What would possess a middle aged woman to do such a thing?

“What would possess a middle aged woman to do such a thing?”

It’s called “perpetual adolescence”.

Why are visions of darts in Young Frankenstein coming to mind?

I don’t think that was a bucket of rocks they found, it was her brain.

When I returned from Peru doing anti-narco operations for the USAF, I got some cool schwag.

Among the things I got were a few working Peruvian native blow guns. I gave one to my brother and then (I should have, by then, known better) turned by back on my brother to show his wife the cool bloodwood jar I was giving her when....

“TWAP!” blowgun dart in my butt!

My brother's eyes went wide! “IT WORKS! TOO COOL!” he said.

“Of course it works!” I replied “And it has treefrog venom on it and I only have five minutes to live!”

“REALLY? TOO COOL!” he exclaimed.

“No, not really. But thanks for the dart in the butt.”

“Where do I get a tree frog?” he wondered.

9 pm on a Thursday night in downtown Stevens Point?

99.9% chance that alcohol was involved.

Potheads never grow up.

They still act like teenagers.

They still giggle over stupid jokes while playing XBox Live.

I know these kinds of people.

Maybe she never won an argument in her life so she decided to try and make a point in this manner.

That is a relative who would have been deliberately left out of my will at 9 AM the next morning.

He already isn't in my will! At the time I had the beneficiary of my military life insurance policy (in case I “bought the farm” the money might actually have gone to paying off the mortgage on the farm) going to my father in care of both of my little sisters.

But I still find it funny how disappointed he seemed that I WASN'T going to die within the next five minutes. He was so enthused about having a deadly tree frog venom blow gun!

AFAIK he is still looking for a really venomous tree frog, but I think even the strongest tree frog venom only paralyzes small prey; it doesn't kill a 200 lb guy.

1 of the victims reported she saw the dart shot from a pipe sticking out the window of a black minivan. Police pulled the vehicle over at 9:30 p.m. and found a blow gun, a slingshot and a bucket of rocks inside.

That may be an accurate description of her, but her attorney may convince her to sue for liable. *<];-')
