I once read that nothing can be made foolproof because fools are so ingenious.
I’ll bet they add this to their warnings!

7/4 is now “idiots with bombs” day.
I was surrounded by mortars. They shook the windows. But the worst thing you could do is address one of these idiots. Best option is to tolerate it or move.
Never enter a debate with a fool. After a couple minutes nobody can tell you apart.

Medical Examiner’s misdiagnosis: head injury due to fireworks mishap/incident.
It should be, head injury due to muy tequila grandes & magnum cervezas.
