My Three Dollar Anti-Aircraft Death Ray Cat Toy

I PULL IT OUT of my pocket, look at it, and shake my head. I still find it hard ro believe that such a powerful weapon is in my pants pocket. Its a three inch long cylinder - no,not what you think - with four small batteries inside, and a button on the side. Aim it, push the button, and a red lasar beam shoots out, and a big bright red spot appears on whatever the lasar gun is pointing at. I bought it at a Dollar General for about three dollars. Its advertised as a toy for your indoor cat, to get fluffy up and running, exercising, chasing the red spot on the floor. And boy, does it ever work! Like a charm! Two of my three cats enjoy it immensely, and the third cat hasn't yet gotten on board, but soon will, as he watches the other two having all the fun. The two hip cats tell me when they want to play a rousing game of "catch the red spot" by darting their eyes around the room, looking up at me, looking at my right hand, then back around the floor, searching....When I point the thing at the neighbor's house, a bright red spot appears. I move the spot quickly; the owner might not have fire insurance. When I point it at any house in my neighborhood, same thing. Just how far can this thing reach? I'm almost afraid to find out. How long could I point it at a certain precise place on my living room carpet without the house bursting into flames? I begin to think that it should be marketed as an anti aircraft star wars death ray, rather than a cat toy. Ronald Reagan was right all along! We can still make "Star Wars" a reality! Right on the package, it says, Do not point at eyes, animal or human (no shit sherlock!), and it says, "it is a federal offense to aim this product at overhead aircraft". Sheesh! What happens when you do? Electronic systems failure, pilot blindness, and a front page disaster? I'd like to know, but I'll be damned if I intend to find out. Prison time isn't worth the satisfaction of curiosity. But it sure makes a helluvan indoor cat toy.
