This Bluetooth Headset Makes You Look Suicidal

Stick this gun to your ear and pull the trigger to take a call.

Mike Haeg, the "mayor of America's smallest town", decided to make a statement about his hatred for talking on the phone. So he used his DIY experience to cram the innards of a Bluetooth headset into a kid's toy plastic gun. When a call comes in, all he has to do is pick up the gun, stick it to his ear, and pull the trigger to answer.

Now Mr. Haeg is debating whether or not to paint his creation so that it looks like a toy gun, well aware of the potential danger: "I get equally giddy and frightened by the panic that this could cause should someone not notice that the gun is a fake or should I accidentally take a call while at the bank."

Clearly, this isn't a headset for gun-crazy communities, where confusion with gun-looking objects can be fatal. It would be hilarious though to see someone walking down the road in rapt conversation, looking like his a few seconds away from ending his own life.

More details are available on Mr. Haeg's own blog. His project is a repackage of this DIY retro headset.
