Last 4th of July my son and his best friend were in the back yard shooting off illegal fireworks (small bottle rockets).
In the true spirit of maleness, the kid's father get's the bright idea of using model rocket cartridges taped to a lenght of wooden dowel. This guy builds real rockets for a living. So he shoots a couple of these homemade puupies off and man did they GO out of sight. This guy was jumping up and down and cheering like a little kid.
A few minutes later we hear the fire truck sirens. Thank God he didn't set somebody's roof on fire. Just caught a vacant field on fire.
His usual targets in real life are things like Taliban or Iraqi tanks or scud missles.
We have nominated him for an associates Darwin Award and we don't let play with the little kids anymore.
