A guy I knew had a pocket full of crackers and
started throwing them at some kids playing
hop-scotch, he was being a bully. Anyway one
cracker he threw didn't go off, so I go it, lit it off
my cig and threw it in his pocket, It worked!
His new coat was made from something that
smolders well. Well he starts banging his hip
pocket, that made things really start popping.
I don't think he even knew how it happened.
His dancing was much more amusing than the
moon walk, music was better too.

Na, too complicated. A 20 gal pail, toss in the brick,
pour in some quik burning shotgun powder, toss in a
cig.

Why does "Darwin Awards" come to mind?
Throwing bullets into a fire is NOT a good idea
either, we got lucky one barely missed me, but
made an impact on a cliff wall, hard enough to
say let's not do that anymore.

heh Thats why I said 'for kids' cause by the time your old enough to know
better, you should know better.
When I was 7 I saw Brad Shughart hit a 22 bullet on the basement floor with
a ball peen hammer.
He was only about 5 so his hands were choked up on the handle and when the
bullet went off the backblast turned his hands into spaghetti sauce.
I've been traumatized ever since from seeing that......
