Defensive measure against Nazis, racists and

Other malodorous individuals:

Water balloons, each containing several drops of patchouli oil, along with the water. Harmless and easily launched unseen from within or from behind a protest group, they work in two ways:

1. The cooling effect of the water is a minor discomfort to those struck by the water balloons. Further, water stains can be unsightly and embarrassing in some cases.

2. No scent is hated more by macho, manly right-wingers and Nazis than patchouili. Long associated with hippies and people from the Indian sub-continent, its intense lingering aroma will stay on the clothing for hours. This will cause embarrassment and self-loathing, not to mention ridicule from those not affected.

And I had to find out who he is.

Good evening, Mr. Danger. My name is Rocky Roccoco.

Thanks, half pint. You've just saved me a lot of investigative work.

Etc. I used to be able to recite the whole thing from memory. Time passes.

But who can forget Phil Austin, Peter Bergman, David Ossmam, and Philip Proctor?

Try this. I just might help. If you don't have any patchouli oil, you can substitute any flowery-smelling cologne or toilet water in your balloons. Those are equally offensive to the Nazi folks.

Use ridicule and shaming on haters. They deserve it.
