So, when was the last time you were truly stunned? Did you enjoy it?

For me, stunned is what you are when you’re hit by a professional boxer, or in my case, when as a child you squeeze a roll of caps in a vise and they all explode at once.

I don’t want to be stunned by my computer screen, a new TV, a stereo system or a woman in a bikini. In fact,  several times a week I probably unconsciously but deliberately avoid being stunned  by slamming doors, people riding bicycles on sidewalks,  poor drivers, etc.

I’ve been stunned, and I don’t enjoy it. So if you’re trying to sell me something, don’t promise that it’ll stun me.
