Ah, my halcyon youth. I was denied toy guns and, as my cousin has pointed out, had to make do by pointing my finger and saying "bang!" Water guns? No, thank you. So we shot each other with hoses (which, for what it's worth, easily rivaled today's "Super Soakers"). But none of us thought of hooking up a transformer to the hose. Thank God, 'cause the electrocuting water cannon looks scary, indeed.
