Dad had a friend with the exact same name as him in high school that he he almost killed once. They had dug a big hole, filled it with fireworks, covered it in gasoline, and then lit it on fire. This resulted in a big boom, and he couldn’t locate his friend for a bit afterwards. Took him a while for his eyebrows to grow back after that. I suppose this is proof that I got my dumbass genes from his side.
