    As kids we were out in the country setting off fireworks, I launched a bottle rocket. Instead of it going up, it took off did a 90° turn and went horizontal. Went inside their garage. It landed in the case of all the other fireworks.

    I’m not sure what the odds were of that firework setting off other fireworks. But it definitely made us hit the ground.

      Almost like Bart did in that episode in china town with the “Chinese Fire Drill”.

      I pulled a Neo matrix move like where he dodged the bullets on the roof. I had to sit for about 20 mins to get the adrenaline rush to subside.
