Dammit that it was a joke.  I would have bought and worn that to the office in an instant.

Laser pointers were almost banned completely where I worked 'cause some boneheaded idiot* decided to tease one of the armed guards by tagging him with a pointer.  Got himself drawn down on.

Guard(s) did not think it was funny.

Wasn't April Fool's Day, either.

Thinkgeek has in the past turned April Fools items into real items due to customer interest . . .

I’m not saying I invented the turtleneck. But I was the first person to realize its potential as a tactical garment. The tactical turtleneck! The… tactleneck!

Needs a slim sheathed knife on the back, and maybe one of the plastic handcuff keys tucked into the knot.  Paracord, 60lb braided fishing line and a friction saw hidden between the layers of the fabric would be good too.

Before anything else, we need to settle the debate between Kevlar and Spectra for the base material, instead of nylon - which BTW is not even specified as 1000 deneir Cordura.

stay safe.

   But the best part is the built-in Class II laser, which you can use to bring attention to your important points, entertain office cats , or blind the random meeting-interrupting zombie.
