I ponder the concept that he was hoping for a structural failure of the glass during the testing phase, why else would he have his wife hold the sheet of glass in front of her face.
talk about absolute faith in a product!
Yeah the gun works, huh?
Doesn’t say how many wives he got through.
I just see this whole thing as a win-win situation. He can’t go wrong.
He was ready to get rid of that hag and grab his Jean Harlow looking bimbo on the side and take off for Mexico !!!
I saw a show on Discovery Channel once about the history of Bullet Proof vests, and they showed a guy who regularly went around to Police departments and the like and demonstrated his own Bullet Proof vest design by taking a handgun and shooting himself point blank in the stomach while wearing one. He’s done this countless times, but then they showed a clip of him attempting to demonstrate it for the camera by instead shooting his vest-wearing adult son in the chest, and he broke down and couldn’t bring himself to do it. He had complete faith in his product, but even though he was perfectly willing to demonstrate it on himself, apparently it’s different when you have to look a loved one right in the eye and fire a gun at them.
…For some people, at least.
LOL she looks less than happy at being the guinea pig… I don’t blame her for flinching at each shot….;)
I think that’s actually recoil from the impact. Not flinching.
All I could think was the woman a nutter -
