Like I'd be able to resist.
Way back in the mid 70s, a sheriff friend pulled over some drunk marines who were out having a good time. Searching the vehicle, he found a bag of simulators they had filched from their training supplies and they were planning to set them off and have fun, no ill-intent. But they being drunk, the officer took the simulators off them and they were in his trunk for a few weeks. He gave them to me, and my brother and I had a blast setting them off and watching them go boom. We were careful and no harm done.
So,they found 3 cigarettes lighters?
Asinine that the story fails to elaborate on “WHY?” they’re washing up in the first place.
Did they lose a few pallets of something more lethal, too?
“This a blasting cap. Remember now, do not touch them.”
When I was a supply clerk in the Army I looked thru the NSN catalogue and they had an “atomic bomb simulator”. It was described as being 6 ft long, aluminum tube. It had to be buried in the ground leaving only 4 to 6 inches above ground, with no over hanging tree branches or any wires over the area. When it detonated it would create a blinding flash, a massive explosive sound, and a mushroom cloud that would rise about 400 to 600 yards. The cost was $6,000.
I always wanted to order one of those. The CO always just singed off on whatever requisitions we put on his desk. But, I figured that not many of those were ever ordered, and once it actually got to the supply depot they might put in a call. So, I never ordered it.

But now we're really in for it.
Where are the veterans among our Freepers?
Dang!
Had a flashback and briefly wondered if another jap sub was still out there...
