At that time, we were staying in a one bedroom condo on the second floor. My husband was a very light sleeper and was being disturbed by some birds that would start their "song" very early in the morning. It was driving him nuts!! Well you know how it goes, a woman has a problem and she talks about it, a man has a problem and he finds a solution.
At that time there was no such thing as a Walmart or Target but there was a store where you could buy just about anything. you name it, they had it.

When we got back to our condo he filled the gun with water and out he went to spray and frighten the birds. They were never heard from again!!
But, that's not the end of the story.
The downstairs neighbor had just had her sofa cleaned and didn't like the odor from the chemicals that had been used, SO she put the sofa on her patio to air out. She got more then she bargained for, her sofa not only got aired out, it got sprayed too! Fortunately it didn't harm the sofa.
I guess you could say my husband's idea was "all wet."
