Something interesting...

This isn't exactly an observation but I though it was pretty... entertaining.

About a week ago one of my friends at college told me about something that had happened in our town park concerning fireworks. But before I go into the actual story - a bit of background information.

Our town has lots of little red bins on the streets, purely for dog-owners to deposit their carrier bags full of shit. They all have lids, and little white signs on them that show (in pictures as well as words) what they were used for.

However, come Fireworks night, these groups of teenagers were setting off fireworks in the street - which is technically illegal but no one seems to stop them. Anyway, one of them thought it would be a great idea to light one then put it in the dog bin. Which is all very well I suppose...

Except that the group didnt get out of the way in time for the bin to explode and splatter its contents over everything in range.

Almost wish I could have heard they're explanations to the police... :-)
