Flashlights

 

Flashlights are handy, but why the name?

It’s a cool name, but they don’t flash anymore than other lights.

You can make any light flash if you turn it off and on again real fast.

You can piss off a lot of people doing this as well!

Portable Light Beam describes it better, and doesn’t confuse people with all this flashing business.

I remember flashing my car headlights to let other drivers know there was radar up ahead. I was a good citizen.

If you really want to mess with your head, try playing pool while a strobe light flashes.

I get sick just thinking about it.  It makes for a long game of pool as well.

My friend tried to compensate for the strobe light by blinking in unison with it, but he lost the game anyway.

I guess he just wasn’t a good “strobe light pool player”.

note: I bet flashlight battery sales went way up after the Star Wars movies started coming out.
