So Kerem pepper sprayed me tonight. But to his credit he peppered spray himself too. Kerem was in the parking garage for his apartment a few nights ago cleaning his car. And out of the corner of his eye he sees this guy hiding behind one of the cars in garage. So Kerem yells at the guy and tells him to take off. This is due to the fact that Kerem had had his apartment burgalarized a few months back. The guy whipped out a knife and slashed all four of his tires and kicked in his back left tail lights. GOOD LORD! My website is starting to sound like the eastbay crime log. Not to mention 2 apartments in his complex were again broken into today. Also over in the ELC one of the apartments on my floor was burgalarized. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE!??!?!

So Kerem was pretty freaked out, and really who wouldn't be. So he went out and bought some pepper spray. So since Kerem's car was messed up I picked him up from BART after he got off work. We got some food at the Smokehouse on the T-graph. So Kerem gets this idea that he wants to try out the pepper spray that he bought.

Thinking this was a poor idea, I said, "YEA MAN DO IT!" I know I'm an idiot. So Kerem and I scientifically determine which the wind is blowing as to not fire upwind and get a face full of pepper spray.

So Kerem busts out the spray and hold down the trigger. What a mighty stream it was! Actually it was really a fine mist with a range of 6 inches. Really only good if you were about to be raped.

So we marvel at the fine mist and walk towards Kerem's apartment from the football stadium parking lot near his place. We get about 10 feet when I start to feel my tongue burning. "AHHH dude I got pepper spray in my mouth!" Kerem laughs a little and then starts screaming about his eyes burning. Then the outside of my mouth starts burning then my eyes start itching. They're still itching. DAMMIT! Ahhh I gotta go take out my contacts now.

Moral of the story... we're not very intelligent for college grads.
