My Annual Word To The Wise

[shouldazagged]

He who goes forth on the 4th with a fifth may not go forth on the 5th.

Saw that on a billboard many years ago.

Be safe on the holiday, folks. We need you here.

Many years ago four young men were driving around the town I lived in throwing fireworks out of a car. The one in the front seat threw a firecracker out and it went back in the rear window and landed in the cardboard box of firecrackers. The entire box went up effectively neutering the man who had it on his lap. I saw the car and the roof was puffed up. I have a bit of experience with dynamite and it looked like two sticks went off in there. I have never had much of a desire to set off fireworks.

Set on ground. Lite. Run away. Holding and in a car just stupid.

But do those that go forth on the fourth with four fifths of a fifth have a better chance, than those that go forth on the fourth with three fourths of a case, to be going forth on the fifth?

Maybe I should not drive today.

My head hurts!

jaykellogs story reminds me of another. These guys caught a wildcat and put it in a suitecase, set it out in a poor section of town, went around the block, parked to watch the fun. Soon a car full of disavantaged youths stopped and threw it in the car. It got a half block down the street and people were jumping out of the doors and windows!

You may have a point there.

 

[kozmic]

Yeah, but who's on first?

 

[Poodle Soup]

Holding and in a car just stupid.

But a hell of a lot more fun

My friends and I came across a large amount of fire works. (fire crackers, roman candles, bottle rockets )

I don't think a single bottle rocket was lit out of a bottle, a single roman candle was pointed into the sky, or a single fire cracker laid on the ground before it was lit.

Its ok to be stupid. Just dont be REALLY stupid.
