Ah yes...explosives are such a great topic for this thread. I was riding shotgun in a VW bug, and we were throwing lit bottle rockets out the window. It was suggested that I try to throw it out in front of the car so we could try & catch up to it and watch it explode right in front of us. Great idea!

I lit it and threw it out the window. It went out in front and right into the open driver's side window landing between his legs. Knowing there was nothing he could do...he slammed his legs shut. I, of course, had no idea what the hell was happening until I heard him scream "OH SHIT" and it was followed by a muffled pop.


Good times! Parenthood is nothing like those days!

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.
