A Good Show

Today, after work I went with a co-worker to do a little browsing at a fireworks stand. The owner of the stand gave us the tour and explained what we would get if we were to buy the higher end stuff. After our little tour my co-worker told him he wanted a good show without spending too much. The owner told him to take a 5-gallon bucket, fill the bottom with several grosses of bottle rocket and suround the rockets with sparklers. Then, light the sparklers and step back, and , he would have a big fireball followed by tons of rockets and explosions. He says to us, "It is a great show and it is cheap." Best part, the guys is missing parts of his fingers on his right hands. Hmmmmmmm.

A lesson I learned while lighting spaklers for my friends' son last night, don't use a lighter. I have never before seen a sparkler shoot anything out the top, but last night it did. I have a huge blister on the thumb that was operating the lighter. Also, for those of you who read the post about the rules of being Larry at the beginning of last month, there is now photgraphic evidence of me dancing. However, my friend took the picture with my camera and when I get around to it, it will be deleted. Hope everyone is enjoying their country's holiday(Happy late Canada Day and early 4th of July) and being safe.
