On another level, this made me pause: You will also feel a gyroscopic effect in the handle

When was the last time I heard about a gyroscopic effect in a long, cylendrical object? Oh, yes, it was a vibrator.

I wonder how many female jedi had unfortunate accidents?

Gives a whole 'nother meaning to the phrase "creates a gentle warming sensation on contact."
