There was a few a few doors down shooting off mortars last night. One blew somewhere on the ground. I heard a bang and saw a bunch of light, smoke and $hit flying everywhere. There was a man in the smoke still, he was the same man standing about 5 feet from the tubes when he lit the fuses. Needless to say there was no more that came from that house last night. They are real cool to watch, but you got to think about what happens to you if they go wrong.

That's the thing about fireworks, sooner or latter one is going to screw up. Hopefully you can duck for cover in time.
