My story of stupid things we kids did, was during WW2 in San Diego there were a lot of Navy pilots training at the North Island Navy Air Station. Often these newbys crashed their airplanes around the back country, leavng opportunities for us kids to salvage .50 cal ammo from the wreckage. We then place these rounds on the street car tracks a short distance from a car stop location and waited for the cars to run over them, resulting in a very large "BANG" , much to our amusement and the anger of the street car drivers. I don't recall any injuries to anyone, but people waiting for the streetcar set some new altitude records for the standing long jump ! Ed
