Tom Reynolds at Random Acts of Reality has a compendium of medical terms for the UK and the USA that can help one sort through the various acronyms used in my stories. Here is the link to his post which has several excellent links to other jargon sites.
Fireworks are one of the truly stupidest products that are produced. I’m not talking about the mortar sized professional fireworks let loose at a professional demonstration. I’m talking about the fire cracker, bottle rocket sized fireworks purchased each year by hairy-knuckle dragging, mouth breathing, monosynaptic, monosyllabic morons. You might call them men/male. I don’t know what it is about fireworks that turns the most docile male into a world class idiot.
This past May in GlendaleArizona, four men in their twenties were driving around in a Toyota Tercel in the middle of the night. Packed into the car with the four were professional fireworks. The four decided after appropriate lubrication that it would be fun to drive to the local park at about 1 AM, hold the mortar tube in their laps, and launch fireworks into the local park. Do I need to go further? If you can’t see that this is going to end in disaster you are probably someone who should never purchase fireworks.
They fired off several rounds until somehow part or all of a round landed in the Toyota igniting the rest of the stash. I believe two of them might still be in the hospital. With any luck their genitalia were burned off in the blast that followed but I don’t think the gene pool was that fortunate.
One 4th of July I was working the local ER, and it did happen to be in GlendaleArizona (a city you might want to avoid this fourth). An eighteen year old male was brought to the ER by his father after he had a mishap while playing with his lighter. The young degenerate had the habit of flicking his lighter while it was inside his pants pocket. This particular July evening he happened to have an M80 in his pocket also. As the young retard enjoyed the evening with friends he continued flicking the lighter in his pants pocket until he accidentally lit the fuse of the M80.
It exploded with enough force to cause 2nd degree burns to the mans thigh. The M80 just happened to be towards the outside edge of the pants pocket when it exploded so unfortunately did not blow off his testicles. Again, this is a great loss to humanity that someone this stupid is still going to be able to reproduce.
