The time I was unloading 303 shells at work to relieve the boredom when my buddy threw a match into the cordite - The flame went up 6 + feet---
The boss wondered what the bright flash was ? Nobody knew ~
a decade later different job same company, one of the mechanics rolled a practice grenade into the morning meeting, nobody paid much attention , it was almost expected !:tinysmile_shy_t:
