Slight hijack.Originally posted by Sarahfeena
An Italian guy I went to school with(as in from Italy) sort of had this happen to him. When he was a kid, him and his friend found an old potato-masher grenade out in the woods. Not knowing what it was they started messing with it. Luckily they had enough sense to toss it before it went off.
Give me whiskey when I'm thirsty,Give me a cold beer when I'm dry, Give me root beer when I'm sickly, Give me a headstone when I die.
To continue the hijack - did you ever read the post by LucyinDisguise, where he describes spending one spring cleaning out an old farm workshop? It's only by luck that he's still with us.
(Sorry, I meant to include a link - but I'm not at home, using my parents' very, very old laptop, and it's having problems with the Dope. Or vice versa. Search for the keyword "dynamite" with the user "LucyinDisguise")
Here's the link I wanted to find earlier: http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/...1&postcount=11
This is true in my experience as well. It's even worse when it's said a day or two in advance of the actual talk...
Oh my gosh, that LucyInDisguise post was quite epic. 27' crater, 7' deep?!? Holy crap!
To continue the thread:
"RUN!!!"
"Details, details. Don't sweat the small stuff."
"OK, don't kill me, I'm just the messenger here"
"Well I've got some good news and some bad news."
"It was a dark and stormy night..."
"You laugh at me because I'm different; I laugh at you because I'm on nitrous."

"Sign this: I have a subpoena here for you."
"Does that pit bull look like it's been eating shaving cream to you?"
It only burns when I pee.
This tastes like the circus smells.
"So before we go inside, have you ever seen that show 'Hoarders'?"
Damn, I wish I'd come up with that one.
