At least it was better than when I blew myself up.

I'll bite. How did you do it?

I have a neighbor who has a place in Death Valley. There's still a few private properties inside the park. He and a couple of pals ran across an old mine site, and spotted a metal container a hundred feet or so down a hillside. The other two went down to investigate. No sign of old dynamite, no oily residue from nitroglycerin. Fooled them, because there was some sort of high explosive in the metal box and it blew. One of them was blown to bits, the other was severely burned. My neighbor, who was up by the car, had a lot of his hair burned off in the flash. Didn't do his hearing any favors. Set fire to the few plants growing out there, too.
