At that point the customer confessed. He did not have any black powder and could not wait to buy some. So he cut open some shotgun shells...
Sounds like the time (I was about 12) I was fixing up or "tuning" one of my slot cars in my bedroom, and didn't want to go all the way down to the basement where the track (12V DC) was to test it. So I just stuck the pickups in the wall socket....
ALL I did was blow the circuit breaker on the whole back half of the house. I was lucky--could have burned the house down or electrocuted my stupid young self. I flipped the circuit breaker back on and never said a word about it.... :?
