When I was a kid, I found a WW II era souvenir my father had in the basement of our home on Long Island, NY.
It was a small (10 inch long) silvery-colored “bomb” with fins. It had a hollow tube down the middle. I don’t know if it was a practice bomb dropped from a small airplane or what, but it was heavy.
One day, my cousin was visiting from another part of Long Island. She walked into the inner, unfinished portion of the basement where my father had a workbench. The “bomb” was nearby, so I picked it up and told my cousin, “If I drop this, there’s going to be an explosion!”
My cousin screamed, and then she ran away with her arms flailing like a bat out of hell. Great fun!
In the present day, my cousin has been an elementary school teacher on Long Island for many years and has grown children. She is also a conservative, and she and her husband both voted for Trump.
He once gave me a spring loaded aluminum box filled with aluminum shavings that were tossed out of airplanes back in WW-II that were designed to throw off enemy radar.
Anyway, I had it sitting on my stereo equipment when I had a party at my apartment and somebody picked it up and tripped the lever that sprung it open and sent the aluminum contents all over my living room........
