You think you can handle this harsh, load-bearing world do you? Think you&#8217;re up to the test?<\/p>\n<p>Most people in response to this question wouldn&#8217;t have been able to muster an answer; they would have fallen down onto their knees and cried into their lunch. Why they would be eating their lunch this late is anyone&#8217;s guess. The fact is that we all want to be tough and pretend to be tough but we&#8217;re not. What you need is someone watching your back and ding dang doodle noodle if that person isn&#8217;t yourself!<\/p>\n<p>Yes. You are the best person to leap to your defence when you run into some trouble. So what will you use? Anything with a point will be confiscated from you as soon as you try to leave your house. You need something a little more nondescript, \u00a0something that will blend in. Food is a good start, but which? Swordfish is too obvious. Eggs will sting but won&#8217;t hold back those would-be should-be probably-are attackers.<\/p>\n<p>We start with the training wheels; Chupa Chups Lollies. Now I know what you&#8217;re thinking and yes, it is hard to cope with the stunning mix of looks and charm and wide legs. \u00a0Lollies are a perfect weapon. Take your hand and open the fingers then insert the round end of a Chupa Chups lolly between the fingers and close. Three instruments of pain are now yours to wield. Don&#8217;t bother using the stick ends because they&#8217;ll bend too easily. Smack someone in the face or arse or groin with those beauties and they won&#8217;t be getting up for breakfast.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pouringbeans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/chupa_chups_html1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-1334 aligncenter\" title=\"chupa_chups_html\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pouringbeans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/chupa_chups_html1-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Clap your hands.
