An Arkansas school teacher who gave her students a fish-shaped water gun is under fire from a parent who says she disapproves of weapons in her house, reports KPOM-TV in Ft. Smith, Ark.
The teacher at an elementary school in Rogers, Ark., gave her students the squirter following a lesson about animals in the rain forest. School officials say she feels horrible about the entire situation and didn't mean to offend anyone.
The parent who complained, Karen Young, doesn't want fish-shaped toy guns in her house because she accidentally shot an ex-boyfriend one time when the gun she was beating him with went off.

Man this one is priceless!!!

All this fuss over a fish that squirts water out of its mouth.
To: Cagey
Apparently the brilliant Mama Young can't figure out that if she'd been using a fish-shaped water gun to beat her boyfriend with, there wouldn't have been any problem when it went off.
To: HungarianGypsy
good thing she wasn't teaching sex ed. I would hate to think of the water pistol she would have given away then. The libs might think that would be ok, though.

Just call it a fish shaped spray bottle. It should also have the following warning label:
WARNING: Not meant for stupid people.

I don't know, these things look terribly dangerous. I hope they come with a trigger lock.

I was reading some of the other stories at the link.
These HAVE to be from the "get a life" section of the news!
To: Cagey
Thanks for post and highlighted portion of report. I laughed out loud for a full 3 minutes.
To: GovernmentShrinker
or perhaps she regrets she didn't use a fish to beat the man

Guess the boyfriend opened his mouth once too often. Leave the teacher alone. Commend her for trying to teach the youngsters an important lesson. Besides, the squirt guns were cheap and she probably paid for them out of her pocket. Knowledge is power and a mind is a terrible thing to waste.

The parent who complained, Karen Young, doesn't want fish-shaped toy guns in her house because she accidentally shot an ex-boyfriend one time when the gun she was beating him with went off. Interesting variation on the theme of "accidental discharge". Does Eddie Eagle do house calls?

Or something like that.

Yeah, women hate it when they're busy beating and it accidentally goes off.
