>>I remember many years ago when they tried to introduce these things at football games. My Uncle told a story that one went off at the back of his head and he turned around to the perpetrator and told him that one more time and the horn would be stuck up his ass, violently, with malice and definite forethought of how to make it hurt real bad.
>>Considering the possibilities, the stadiums banned them.

When I was a kid, it was fathers day, my two brothers, dad and I went to the baseball game in LA, the Dodgers were playing somebody like it was important. Anyway my older bro got a big beer and there we were 8 rows behind home plate. The National Anthem started and we all stood to sing, all except the 4 guys in the row in front of us, the continued to talk like nothing was going on. When we finished Home of the Brave my brother on accident spilled his beer on the 4 of them, Opps. Well he sat down and said he was sorry just got carried away I guess. Well this jackass covered in beer decided to stand on the seat and challenge my bro to a fight, Russ stood up, he was 6'4" in cowboy boots, was 6'7" add the 5 inches we were already taller then these guys and this little guy about 5'5 almost came up to his belt buckle. My brother said once again it was an accident and said he was sorry with this big smile on his face. It must be noted that everybody in the area was cheering my brother. The guys went to complain to security who came down to get the facts, everybody saw what happened, we were all singing with our hand over our hearts and these guys were sitting. Security did not see a problem as my bro did say he was sorry and the umpire hollered Play Ball.
It was a wonderful game, nobody was sitting in front of us and so we could see everything.
Large hats, horns, towels, fingers that say number one should all be outlawed from sporting events, including the beer after the second one.
