Launched on the 4th of July

Three young men in Oklahoma were enjoying the coming Fourth of July holiday and wanted to test fire some fireworks. The only real problem was, their launch pad and seating arrangements were atop a several hundred thousand gallon fuel distillation storage tank. Oddly enough, fumes were ignited, producing a fireball seen for miles. They were launched several hundred feet into the air and found dead some 250 yards from their respective seats.

Railway HandCar

A tramp finds a hole in a field and throws in a stone to see how deep it is. He doesn’t hear anything, so he drops down something larger – an old railway handcar. As he does so a ram appears and starts charging toward him. At the last moment the man leaps to one side and the ram plummets down the hole. Later the tramp meets the farmer who owns the field and tells him that the hole is dangerous. “I know,” replies the farmer. “That’s why I put a big ram in the field – to scare away the children.” “Really?” says the tramp. “But what would happen if the ram wandered off?” “Oh, it can’t do that,” replies the farmer. “I tied it to an old railway handcar.”
