Man: Hey baby, where did I leave my dynamite?

Woman: Let me light a candle and see!

I can’t believe someone would leave a quarter stick of dynamite with a detonator and fuze stuck in it. You generally don’t arm one until ready to use it.

This is why I keep my candles in the left-hand drawer, and my dynamite in the right-hand drawer.

Oh, wait. The candles are in the right-hand drawer and the candles are ...

Well, they do strongly resemble one another. Except for the blowing-up part.

Not only that but a quarter stick of dynamite would take off more then fingers I would think.

Been a long time since I have worked with dynamite but the stuff we used to use was more destructive than that.

What was this obviously “compromised” woman doing with dynamite? OK, maybe she was just running a small business making bombs for local terrorists??

You can’t make this kind of stuff up. There must be more to the story here...

She’s actually kinda lucky IMO. Coulda been much worse. Remember the football player that blew his hand up with fireworks? This could very well have been deadly.
