Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
I once found my granddads revolver that he used in WW 2, in his war drawer. I didn't know if it was loaded or not, but I wanted to try a bit of Russian roulette. You can guess what happened next. only took a day off work though, need to invoice!.
I once went to St Martin in the Carribbean where I spent 90% of my time wandering round in swimming trunks. One afternoon after taking a siesta I wandered into town to get a drink and started getting funny looks. Odd, I thought, I've been in my speedos all week without so much as a raised eyebrow so far. Then, when I sat down in the bar I saw why - I was in my undies. And these were underpants -M&S white Y fronts; not the sort that could be confused with swimmers
I once (inadvertently) set fire to a hay bale. In a field full of stubble, and other hay bales.
We were 'playing' target practice, aiming for a shotgun cartridge with a small bore rifle, at the time. The cartridge was resting on said bale of hay.
Several very panicky minutes later, we'd managed to soak the ground around the burning hay bale with water, with a hose. The smoke was visible for miles.
Me and the missus brought a dinghy and outboard once and I was so keen to use it I took it out on a really windy day in Northumberland and then couldn't start it. I had to row frantically to get back from almost over the horizon and then got capized by a huge wave and lost the outboard motor.
Having a wee in a bush... a thorny bush... wearing stiletto boots that got stuck in the mud so I ended up ass first in the bush... before I'd pulled my knickers up. Ouch.
