Well, you know, it was Irwin. He doesn’t think like anyone else….

That’s a rather unique way of thinking.

Or Irwin’s wailing will attract so much attention, everyone will come running to see what’s wrong, and scare off the robber. Same principle as a car alarm, except Irwin’s idea is a tad more painful!

You can always try Steve Martin’s strategy - if someone demands that you hand over all your money, take it out and throw up on it.

“Uhhh… No thanks, I’ll pass. Catch you next time though, OK?”

It sure did.

If it’s all the same, I’d rather have the perp cry hard to get my sympathy.

To neutralize pepper spray, rub French fries in your face.

That makes sense: What the potato doesn’t absorb, the starch would neutralyze. Hint: If you put too much salt in the soup, stew, or broth, quarter up a potato or two and cook in the mix until enough salt cooks into the potatos, then remove..
