The cops came around and hauled off the guy across the street last night for his
excessive use of illegal fireworks. Apparently he set fire to a trash can in
another of his neighbors' yards with a pop-bottle rocket. I hope they throw
away the key!

I like the approach used in Missouri, you
can buy anything
you want, you just can't fire it off in the state. Right.
I still have a few bricks of crackers from my last trip
there, at least for a few more hours.
You can blame the irresponsible cretins who haplessly set
fire to their
neighbors' houses, and the over-reacting city
and county
councils that
enacted measures banning fireworks because of
this.
