Can a FREEPER guy please say it in a way that I can understand? Thank you.
I will give it a shot. I used to do the fireworks routine as a kid. I grew up in Tucson AZ where fireworks were illegal. We used to get cherry bombs and M-80's in Nogales, Mexico and bring them home. We had a lot of fun blowing up stuff in the city dump. This was about 40 years ago, BTW.
Now, I work for the DoD as an Engineer. I blow stuff up, and get paid for it. My exploits as a kid prepared me for my current career!

But each year when we went to the beach in SC, I would buy some and sneak them back home in the car under a seat or something. One year I got caught by my parents. End of that nice setup, otherwise I might have a job blowing stuff up today as well. :-)
