Tom Swift Writer’s Notebook

Here I thought I was merely reading a fun little item about a man who had been hogtied and paraded about town in the back of a pickup after being shocked with a Taser (who among us has not done that after tipping back a few on a Saturday night?), when I learned something incredibly interesting: “Taser” is an acronym for “Thomas A. Swift’s Electric Rifle.”

Something to remember next time a police officer fires 50,000 volts into your backside.
