My favorite was when driving down the highway to spray starting fluid on the window and light it and scream as people drove by…..

I have a cousin that was playing with hair spray or something else flammable. He held the nozzle down to long and blew the can up in his hand. I believe it was only an error visit and he healed up completely. I would say he is dumb and he is but he did marry well, very well$. But he is forced to put up with stuff I wouldn't. Let's just say from how that wife acts I think a dna test would not be a bad idea on the kids. Proves money is not everything.

I've definitely done that... I know it's dangerous but it's pretty fun.

We cut the ends off of old coke cans ...then taped about

7-8 together ...making a tube you could see through.

Then we taped on the bottom can that had just the top cut off.

We punched a small hole with a nail ...in the bottom of the bottom can..

Squirted some lighter fluid in it...put our thumb ovah.the hole..

And a twirled it around about 10 times...shoved a tennis ball in the tube...

Stood it straight up...and put a match ,near the hole ..

I drove around Down town Minneapolis in my Chevy Impala low rider delivering 400 Sunday Star and Tribune papers for a full time Paper-man while he was on vacations.
I had a intercom and speaker to yell things to "locals" at 4 am on...
My friend Doug and I had a few close calls - the Impala had Red fun fur and red Dingle ball interior done like cheech & Chongs car only Mine had a Rebel flag zip tied to the antenna.
A few times down there Were quite sketchy

Let’s see: I hunted, fished, and trapped. Never saw a reason to quit.

Instead of lighter fluid we used aqua net hair spray. Pretty sure that stuff is banned now.

I made me a hobo stick with a handkerchief and put carrots in it and walked down Cherry Tree Lane on a little adventure after reading a storybook about a bunny who ran away from home. Not sure how long I was gone but caused quite a bit of grief for my mother. All without the benefit of explosives.
