How to Handcuff a Criminal

Being a man entitles you to a number of generous 'perks' that just make life so much sweeter....an example of such would be moustaches, and what is known as a "Man Test". The "Man Test" is a right passed down from the greats: Jesus, Vishnu, Colombo, where in every man has the ability to challenge a fellow brethren to any act that could be deemed 'manly'. You may ask, what does the Man Test have to do with an Information illustration? Well to make a long story short, I challenged Gregory Dubeau to get pepper sprayed in the face, and he subsequently challenged me to be tazered. So Greg and I went to the police station one faithful morning, accompanied by the lovely Melodie Papp who came prepared to watch and laugh.

We were greeted by Constable Vegso, a member of the Halton Regional Police Department. He provided us with step by step demonstration on how to hand-cuff, tazer, and pepper spray someone, as well as baton and fire arm etiquette.

Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how you look at it) we werent able to finish our Man Test. However i was handcuffed and taken down by a police officer...im sure thats something to be proud of.

That was a terrible day of man test etiquette. We totally got shut down. Alas, our peppery/electrical ship will come to port some day.
