Hmmm...... Let me think...... Well there was the time i had a bunch of old bottlerockets at my folks place. I needed to get rid of them.... I also had about a pound of black powder in a can as well. I took everything out back dug a hole, put rockets in hole, some black powder, then laid line of black powder down as a fuse, long enough I though that I could get out of the way no problem. bent over and lit the line, and next thing i knew, i had hair off my arm, along with 2 singed eyebrows, and 1 herd of cows at the neighbors stampeded....... and 1 very pissed wife....
Dad couldn't stop laughing and grinning though.....
