#and the cops get soooooo mad when you just put your gas mask on and stand there like “what”

[3liza]

when my dad was training troops in Vietnam he would do a magician trick during the tear gas training (the enlisted men have to go in a room full of tear gas with gas masks on to learn to breathe through the mask etc) where he would take a deep breath outside the gas shack and then stride in without a mask on and casually bellow "GOOD WORK MEN! KEEP IT UP!" before strolling back outside

later he bought me a keychain mace spray and because he wasn't sure if it would actually disable an attacker he went outside and tested it on himself to make sure
