On the bright side, it doesn't sound like those numbnuts will be reproducing.

Re: Some people are sooo stupid! :D
Well, one can ask the same question about people selling kidney to buy ipads (or any other Apple iNonsense) - seriously?!
But then - I guess this is an illustration of "survival of the fittest"

I am impressed that they can say which one it hit. You would have thought it would have taken both out.

Or the "ball" to do it. Just to be exact.

Re: Some people are sooo stupid! :D
I remember when I was a kid and fireworks amounted to not much more than a quick fizz bang and that was it. A few small fireworks bought with pocket money and all too quickly it was over, pocket money gone and skint (Brit speak for broke) for the rest of the week.
But some of the fireworks available now are more like explosives  So I would say: alcohol and fireworks is a not good, but alcohol and explosives is just asking for a bad hair day

It's never safe to think ' nobody could be that stupid ', because someone will prove you wrong.

We could get M80s around here as a kid. A worthy bang.

Alcohol and fireworks/explosives not good - agreed - they are a GREAT combination, but I wouldn't give my left n*t to .....
There seems to be a need in the human psyche for a direct experience of personal danger, but our modern world has removed these or at least hidden most behind a curtain of deception. So people are left to their own means to manufacture danger as best they can.
