My favorite dumb excuse for trying to bring the whole family into the fireworks area? "We thought it was the petting zoo..."
Had a woman last night who thought she'd be allowed to stay in a fallout area because it was her birthday.

You mean that wasn't one of the Dreams in the Year of a Million Dreams? I don't mind being pelted with stuff in the fallout zone, but that's because I'm there for a reason and I am wearing protective gear.

Makes me wonder if those people who shoot off illegal fireworks are bribing the fire marshal. If he's not doing his job, he shouldn't have the job! If somebody's house were to get burned down because some jerk thinks they can get away with it, the fire marshall should be punished alongside the offender!

As for the SGs--did they see any animals? I don't think so. Guy who got hoist by his own petard (look up the original meaning of that)--as hot as fireworks get, I'd say it's a safe bet he's a crispy critter. And I wonder what was in that lady's bloodstream besides blood for her to think it was okay for her to sit in the fallout zone on her birthday! She probably ended up in the burn unit. Nothing says "Happy birthday" like spending the evening getting burns cleaned, assessed and bandaged, with the possiblity of hearing the term "skin grafts" applied to your case. But, to each their own.... :twisted:
