I have a cartoon on the wall at work that shows a picture of the ultimate
mouse trap.
Has a dial for the type of cheese to simulate (BREE, CHEDAR, EDAN, etc) as
well as a PSI setting (SCARE, STUN, MAIM, KILL).
What types of settings would you have on a laser? Just low thru high or
something like on your clothes iron?
