Good morning Miss Rika, still haven't received that case of single malt Scotch I ordered for you...........but I've noticed a particularly wide grin on the UPS driver's face lately.

I can readily identify with the word of the day. I caused tons of objects, ordnance and otherwise, to fulminate.

Many years ago, blasting caps contained mercury fulminate. Had many occasions of recovering these caps that had been sitting in a shed for over 40 years. Very, Very sensitive stuff and, kind of like us, it gets more powerful with age.

Don't let that UPS guy drink my scotch!

LOL, I bet you have some very interesting stories to tell about your job.
